Pros:
adjustable spreader, Good Stability
Cons:
tilt is jerky, not fluid
Best Uses:
nice legs with other head
The claim of high performance fluid head was a big disappointment. Tilting is so jerky as to be unusable for serious video work. The big cylinder for the tilting pivot looks like the expensive fluid heads but it is an empty sales gimmick, made of plastic instead of metal, lacking useful adjustment, and not achieving fluid action at all. Head needs to be redesigned if they want to call it a fluid head tripod. The legs are nice so I was able to fit an actual fluid head on it from a different manufacturer.
