Great for fine tuning architectural compositions. It saves a lot of time and gives you precise control. The quick release feature on the fine tune adjustment knobs is brilliant.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto Pro Digital Geared Head with Quick Release - Supports 16.50 lb:

I use this head for macro (Canon 40D+Tamron 180mm+macro rails), and movie projector on the side as well. An over kill for my purpose but works great for me. It does creek a little over time (as in movie projector's case, you can see the movie screen a little tilted after a few hours. But I've never have any problem for regular macro shootings. Considering the price, there might be better options out there. But I use quite a few Manfrottos at home, and I like their overall solid middle class way of doing things - reasonable priced, solid build with ease of use. I read some pros complained about creek for long exposures and used on large frame camera. Have no experience there myself. All I can say is for regular macro work, this thing is fantastic!

The best head going any time precise framing is required. Very smooth movements, and lots of bubble levels and degree wheels make this head a joy to use.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto Pro Digital Geared Head with Quick Release - Supports 16.50 lb:

The Pro-Digital Geared Head is a solid unit, with quick adjustments and geared adjustments with no backlash. It is a rugged unit and should last a very long time, at a price that is affordable compared to other heads. I found this unit especially useful in macro photography and portraits, allowing the ability for framing to be spot on, and reproducible if need be.
