I hate ball heads and have been looking for a pan/tilt compact enough to take when I travel. This head fills the bill. It's light, the knobs are short, and the head partially folds. It's not as compact as a ball head, but still is easy to pack. The knobs are large in diameter and easy to adjust.
I find this head much easier to manipulate than a ball head and much less likely to drop down after setting the tension.
I was so thrilled to see this lightweight replacement for my wonderful-but-heavy geared head. I still have control of all three axes separately, which I find indispensible for my work, especially macro shots.
I have Parkinsons so Photogaphy is not easy for me. BUT with the 460MG magnesium head it puts the fun back in to photography for me. There are just 3 nobs to work, they are small but very effective & w/no ball head I do not need to worry about trying to change one setting & having something else...
I like extreme low-angle shots when appropriate and am getting too old to crawl around getting the fram -- this head on a monopod and the camera can be inverted completely to shoot at ground level.
This is a really nice head. It's compact and slides right into my tripod bag. Also, this is very sturdy and well built. I love the shipping here, I received this in a couple of days. Very nice head to have.
Using 460mMG on 479 tripod instead of more usual 234RC head. Gives much more flexibility with adjustments in 3 axes instead just front to back tilt, at a cost of only about 200 more grams.
This is an upgrade from a Bogen 3D Junior head and mounted it to a new Monfrotto 290 Extra Tripod. Great addition to my kit! It is lighter, the ruberized-rounded knobs are much more compact with the head and it has the QR plate w/safety lock.
Just purchased a new tripod and was going to mount my 3D Junior head on it but though a new head wou,d go well with that so purchased this. The things it has going for it is much lighter (Magnesium?
There are lots of nice reviews for this head so I'll say something new. Unlike a ball head and probably other pan heads, this head is offset. This places the center of balance not at the camera plate screw but AT THE PLACE WHERE THE LENS CONTACTS THE CAMERA.
