This head is well made but it is heavy due to the sturdy construction. I find the controls a bit clumsy to operate. The friction grab is either on or off which makes small adjustments difficult. I'd try something different for th emoney.

This head does exactly what I was looking for. It is easy to use. Also got the Induro AT413 Tripod w/carrying case and makes a great solid combination for my new Canon D5 MK3. The head can stay attached to the tripod and with the folding handles fits nicely inside the tripod case for easy transport.

This head seems like a good idea and it would be if a little more thought went into the design and if it was made to higher quality standards. My head has broken after less than a year - the small knob that loosens the panning on the head base is stripped and can not be locked down nor can the head now be removed from the legs without damaging both. The knob that stripped has always been the weak link anyway because it is too small and difficult to tighten and loosen, especially with gloves on or if your fingers are cold. It should be a lever instead. The folding handles are really great idea BUT they are made poorly and even when tightened down seem very loose. The movements on the head are very jerky and I found it quite hard to make fine adjustments to level the head because it is not smooth and jumps during adjustments. The bubble levels are very small and are fine outside on a sunny day but are VERY difficult to see in low light situations (which I am shooting in often.) The additional pan adjustment on the top is also a great idea but what you can do (which I have now done) is get a panning arca adapter and put it on ANY pan tilt head (i.e. a better quality head) and you will then have the same functionality. For the price, I expected this head to be much, much better quality. I am giving it 2 stars rather than one because it's not a total piece of junk (assuming they replace my broken one) but be warned that your money is better spent elsewhere.

This 5 way panning head is just simply amazing--never before have I used a head that works this well! I'd highly recommend it to anyone interested in panoramas, automotive shots, or any landscapes.

I am just learning how to use the pan head an have used the ball head for over twenty years. I wanted to learn and shoot panoramic scenes and the ball tended to rise and fall. The new Induro PQH keeps everything on the same plane.
