Beware the Mounting Plate
The unit itself isn't too bad, however the screw to mount the plate to the bottom of your camera is the coin slot type. A definite draw back because now I have to carry a stubby flat tipped screw driver to get the mounting plate tight enough to mount on the head.??

Feather light price for heavy usage.
I have owned few Dolica tripods. Lost a screw on a head unit, decided to upgrade to a better pan & tilt head. Picked this one mainly for its affordable price, has 2 pins on plate for added stabilization, especially when use on Tamron 150-600mm with my Nikon d610. Now my heavy set up doesn't droop when I switched to vertical mode. Room for improvement, I wish it had a better method to attach plate onto camera, instead of the common flip up ring screw it had slot head screw. I have to use a coin to tighten the screw, which would be difficult when you are out in the field.

Update on review 10/20/2012
I just wanted to update from my previous review. I called Dolica and explained the problem to a customer service rep. They are sending a new head out, no questions asked. They actually offered to send out a whole new tripod / head set, but I told them that I only needed the head. I still don't know if I'll use it with my K5, but it's good to know that they stand by their product. Therefore, I upgraded the rating to two stars from one. I wouldn't buy it again or recommend this product, but other products from Dolica may be worth looking into.

Weak Sauce
I bought this as part of a tripod/head combo just five or six months ago. I used it on one trip to New Mexico and one to Alaska. While the description says that it supports 15.4 lbs, it did not support my K5 with Sigma 150-500, in fact the head often fell forward when zoomed in to 500. Apparently this is too much weight forward on the head. Also, the threading on the head that the tension bolt screws in to, locking the quick release in position, stripped. I don't remember ever turning it hard enough to strip it, but I guess I did. I am mechanically inclined and have used other tripods before. I expect more from a product described as "professional."
Apparently there is a five year warranty, but I don't think I'll trust this head on a camera / lens combination worth well over $
