There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I installed this originally on a cheaper pair of sticks that had come with a traditional still camera ball head. Comparatively though, the head was too large and the tripod lost some of its stability, so I ended up purchasing a smaller sized pair of multistage sticks designed to be used with a video head.
I now have no complaints about the head's operation and was very pleased with the low price point. For amateur moviegoers or professionals like me on a shoestring budget, this is a fantastic alternative to the traditionally expensive fluid heads needed for consistent smooth motion in video work.
On that note, the biggest weakness of the head is its counterbalance feature. The head, without anything on it, tilts downward at about a 20-25 degree angle. This makes it impossible to keep the camera balanced without using a longer camera plate to offset the camera further back. I sent my first one back because the tilt was too aggressive, the second one is still bad but not as much. I intend to keep it anyway because it works well: panning and tilting is very smooth and the build quality is excellent.
Pros:
- smooth pan and tilt
- excellent build quality
- amazing value for the price
- the handle has a texturized rubber grip
Con
- head tilts forward in its resting position, makes balancing the camera difficult
- there is no friction control for tilting
- camera plate doesn't slide in and out as smoothly as it should

As mentioned in other reviews, the pan head 360-degree turning was not smooth and felt a bit jerky. However, I was able to eliminate that problem, and now it is pretty smooth if not perfect. However, I never handled another name brand to compare it with.
The 360-degree turning pan head fix. During watching a one-hour TV show, I would tighten the pan locking lever as tight as possible, without feeling I was going to break it, in multiple positions. By the end of the TV show, the jerky feeling was completely gone. I am delighted with my purchase, and I don't think I'd be any better off with a more expensive brand.
The Quick Release Plate Locking Lever has been improved. It only requires about 1/4 turn to lock the plate in place.
The other feature that came in handy was the inclusion of the 3/8 inch Extended Interface. The threaded mounting hole made it possible to attach a light mounting bracket. I created it to attach my Predator Tactics Coyote Reaper Predator Hunting XXL Rifle Light to.
I recommend this product.
