I've needed a pro (or semi-pro) tripod head for some time and this one certainly filled the requirement beautifully. Pretty easy to set up right out of the box, very good sensitivity on all controls and very firm when locked down. Also very smooth and fluid for panning.

I ordered this as a kit with the Manfrotto MT190XPro3 tripod. I can tell you this is the best camera head that I have ever used. When used in conjunction with the tripod I mentioned, you will never use another brand. Highly recommended.

I love this tripod! The levelers for each axis are wonderful and the tripod can be adjusted to fit in just about any configuration you need! I've used it on rocks, right near the ground, and on a very steep hill with no problems.The issues: Be careful extending the legs.

Works well for the money. My Nikon 400 2.8 is probably too much for this head but it's still useable.

This tripod is the bomb! It will support the weight of my camera, the optional battery pack, and the flash unit with ease. It is heavy enough to hole the camera steady in windy conditions but light enough to carry on hikes and trips.

What I was hoping for. Very sturdy and holds tightly with 500mm lens. Vertical adjustment is limited but rotating camera on clamp alows 90 deg orientation. Wish it had an Arca clamp and little longer handles. Just never could get warmed up to a ball head.

This is definitely worth the money!

Looking for a tripod that was heavy duty enough to keep camera secure during shooting, but light enough to drag around. Seems like this one is perfect.

I have had this head on my Manfrotto MT055CXPRO4 tripod for several months, and it is excellent. The friction adjustments allow you to fine-tune just how much resistance there is in the head. It is extremely stable even with a Canon EOS 80D, and a Canon 100 - 400 L series telephoto mounted.

There is absolutely nothing I can say about this tripod that I don't like. Great, solid, and easy to operate with the way it is set up. Really like it!
