Great video head!

I like this video head much better than the one that came with the tripod. I like that it has the multiple handles for moving the camera. This should come with the tripod instead of the other one.

3Pod Tripod head, is in my experience a worthwhile purchase.

I bought this 3Pod head and the 3Pod, tripod (carbon fiber, with the extendable center mast). I don't have a lot of experience with tripods, but this pair is doing everything that I need to do. The adjustability of this head moves and holds my DSLR solidly, where I need it to be for taking pictures straight down into the counter/table top. The locking of each of the joints is firm, and doesn't need two hands to complete the locking of each joint.

Great tripod head.

This worked as expected. I really appreciated the quick release that allowed me to take the camera off quickly and secure it confidently upon return.

Almost perfect

Pan lock does not fully tighten. It moves slightly, not enough to really ruin a composition, but just irritating enough to upset me. Otherwise the unit is built as well as the Manfrotto I swapped with due to the fact that Manfrotto is not compatible with Peak Design QR bracket.

Decent but not great

It is a fine head for its purposes. I didn't care for the sticky way it grabbed and released or rotated. It resides in my closet used with many other heads. But for budget 3 way it is made ok and works as advertised

A very good item

It is a great tripod head and very steady.. yes I would say it is worth the money... But lol. The little bubble level pipes out when I got it... a little super glue. Back in business

Average 3-Way Head

Average 3-Way Head, not overly great but not terrible either. It gets the job done. There is play in the North/South pivot section, that lets the mount rock East and West. For the price, this is a decent head.

This is good for light weight camera not for heavy weight camera example : you have D750 and battery grip with new 28-70 f2.8 it's too heavy
