Review Summary

Solid tripod head for my Sony a7r v. The build quality is fantastic, and the locking knob at the top secures the camera very well. The tilt is fluid with variable resistance. One item to note, since we're all being asked to deliver vertical content these days, I'm not thrilled that I have to mount the camera using a SmallRig cage and applying the Arca Swiss plate parallel to the lens as opposed to along the bottom of the camera, where it would be much more secure.

I see a very big issue here. I exchange email with the manufacturer support folks and they told me that they do not make spare "Standard Video" plates that you can just purchase. This is a big problem for me because I have multiple cameras and I want each camera with a plate reading to go for swapping. Worse, what if I lost the plate? Where can I get a replacement plate? I will be okay if they can recommend 3rd party plates that could work with this head - especially they market it as a manfrotto standard video plate. But when I ask the support person, all he said was "it's just a standard plate that works with the AHCINE-S but it's not Manfrotto compatible" so I'm confused and what does that mean? I would recommend this tripod but not the Airhed CINE-S head until 3LT sells spare plates or can verify that it will work with other Manfrotto PL compatible plates.
