Great 3-way head, but needs Arca-Swiss quick release option.
Having tried many tilt/shift head, including the Gitzo, I find this model far and away the best available. The only downside is the lack of an arca-swiss head - a must have for those who employ L-bracket quick release plates. Manfrotto should offer an arca-swiss quick release option. I had to buy a 3rd party conversion kit, which is no longer made.

NIce Tripod Head, easy to use, but mine had a grip fail, so now we'll see how the warranty works...
I'm giving it a 4-star review, in that it functions as a 5-star product, but one of the leveler handle's grips, STOPPED GRIPPING! So I can no longer level the head, and rendered it useless! I am still under warranty, so I'll need to ship it off to get fixed. Other than that, it's a great product. I have babied this all the time I've had it, I don't throw it around or chuck it or any abuse at all. Even then, the grip just started slipping, out of the blue. Not sure why it happened, but I just think it's a defect, possibly. I'll update the review (if that is possible) once I get it back from being repaired. It does come with a 3-year warranty, if you register it, like I did. I will admit, that for the meantime, I went ahead and got a Peak Design Travel Aluminum Tripod for the interim. It comes with a Lifetime Warranty, which is nice. However, the ball-head style head is not my favorite type of head, compared to the ease of use with this head.

Manfrotto engineering is second to none.
Best camera head I have ever owned. Rock solid and easy to make adjustments. Levels are easy ready and very usable.

Great tripod head
I was really happy with this tripod head. My camera and lens are very heavy about 15 lbs/7kg. I purchased two other tripods even one that was recommended and the heads would not carry the weight. Not only does it carry the weight it is super easy to level the head in either portrait or landscape. I am very happy with this head. It is very easy to attach the camera and its very secure with a extra catch to make sure you do not accidentally release your camera.

Easy adjustment and stable with 200mm lens.
I have tried this head with my Nikon 800 with a 70-200mm lens. The combined weight is about 3.5 kilos. I am very pleased with the stability and ease of adjustment of this head compared with my previous head. I recommend the Manfrotto MHXPRO-3W X Pro 3-Way Head without reservation.

Nice head for light weight 4x5 field camera
I have been using a Ball head for years with 4x5 light weight cameras. I replaced it with this head and am amazed at how much easier it is to level and adjust the camera. I walk with the camera on the tripod quite a bit so had to adjust the tension a little tighter incase I didn’t lock it down tight. Supports the max 5 pounds of my camera/lens on a light weight tripod adequately. The handles are easy to get to whether extended or not. The tripod no longer fits in its slim case with this head but that is not a major issue.

Outstanding tripod head....But.
The 3-way head provides very precise control of the subject. Each axis is independently controlled which is far superior to other tripod heads. Build quality is outstanding and should provide excellent service for decades. The retractable arms are a definite space saving feature. However, most Manfrotto heads proved a simple one-handed secure drop in for the quick release plates. This unit will only engage in one of the four possible directions and requires two hands to engage and lock in the plate. It is very scary to envision $ of equipment falling to the ground.

It's good, but for the price & brand, I expected great.
The head works fine. Could have a little more tilt range. The levers hold it tight... not much travel... but definitely some. The level on it is useless... it's engineered to level the seat for the plate, but the surface of the plate doesn't sit parallel to the plane of the seat.

Sturdy and easy to use
I purchased this because my existing head wouldn't securely support my camera/super-telephoto lens. This head has all of the fine control I need with plenty of strength to support my heavy equipment.

Easy to use with the quick release plate. Steady enough for easy panning.
Would recommend this head. The price is right and the head is durable. Works well with my long lens.

Great Tripod
Love this piece of equipment, sturdy, performs really well. Lots of ways to level the head. Took it out in pretty heavy wind and it withstood the pressure.

Great Professional Head
I enjoy the solid feel, and excellent functioning that this tripod head provides. I feel badly that I didn't find this sooner. No plastic where it matters.

Typical Manfrotto Quality
It is very sturdy and versatile. I like being able to control all the axes separately and this allows me to do this.

Best 3 way pan head
I only use 3 way pan heads. This is the best I have used. It locks down tight, has great tension control, it is light weight for its capacity, and is compact for storage and to carry. I have it on all my tripods.

Smooth movement in all three directions
Smooth movement in all three directions. Retractable handles make storage easier and allow for better control over adjustments. Easily handles weight of long lenses. Great for shooting vertical. Reason for only 3 stars is because it will not allow for shooting at higher angles.

It's a steal!
I just started using this head and I can tell you it works great with my nikon70-200mm lens. Manfroto makes a great product at a great price. This head at ($) was a steal. I use this one for portariature and landscape and I use my manfroto joy stick for macro. buy it you'll love the value!

Manfrotto 3 Way Head
This is a great new product. Quality is excellent. It's a little smaller than I expected, but this is not an issue. I primarily shoot with a Nikon D300s and a 70-200mm lens and it handles it with no problem.

Haven't had much time with it yet, but the build quality seems pretty good. It's a little smaller that I expected, but that's fine. It can still handle my setup with no problem.
