Review Summary

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Going from a ball mount tripod head it is really nice to use.

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.

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.

Would recommend this head. The price is right and the head is durable. Works well with my long lens.

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.

I enjoy the solid feel, I can tell you it works great with my Nikon D7200/ Sigma 150 mm 2.8 macro.

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.

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

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. 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.

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!

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.

Best camera head I have ever owned. Rock solid and easy to make adjustments. Levels are easy ready and very usable.
Explore the world of professional photography with the Manfrotto MHXPRO-3W XPRO 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head, a pinnacle of engineering designed for photographers who demand precision and reliability. This head is crafted with a robust aluminum body, ensuring it can support a substantial load of up to 12 kg (26.5 lbs), making it suitable for a wide range of camera and lens combinations.
The innovative design of the XPRO 3-Way Head features retractable levers that significantly reduce its footprint when not in use, making it exceptionally easy to pack and transport. When extended, these levers provide photographers with the leverage needed for precise adjustments.
Friction controls on both the tilt and portrait axes are meticulously engineered to balance the weight of your camera gear. This allows for fine-tuning of the composition with the locking knobs open, ensuring that every shot is perfectly framed before securing the position. The inclusion of three built-in spirit levels aids in achieving a flawlessly levelled shot, directly in-camera, which minimizes the need for time-consuming post-production corrections.
The head comes equipped with the 200PL-14 Quick Release Plate, which facilitates swift and secure camera attachment. This feature is invaluable for photographers who need to switch between shots and setups quickly, without sacrificing stability or control.
Whether you're capturing breathtaking landscapes, intricate architectural details, or studio-quality portraits, the Manfrotto MHXPRO-3W XPRO 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head with 200PL-14 Quick Release Plate is an indispensable tool that combines functionality with ergonomic design for the ultimate photographic experience.
