Review Summary
2024-05-18T04:49:28
Excellent 3 axis head, very secure, handles my Nikon F3 with 1200mm f11 Nikkor with no problems, I haven't trid it yet with the 2000mm f11 Reflex yet but I'm pretty sure it will handle it. The adjustment handles are just the right size, have POSITIVE locking without having to use a torque wrench. If anything it's a little biit on the heavy side, but it should be based on keeping expensive cameras and lenses from crashing to the floor while allowing you the freedom to point your camera in any direction.

This is my second 229 head. The first one is still going strong after about 5 years of daily use. These heads are heavy but built really solid and work fantastically well.

Well made strong enough for me. It has some weight to it. Very adjustable what else do you need.

By far the best Pro-Head on the market. Bought my first one about 20 years ago which is still in operation. This one is identical and I love it just as much. Perfect for heavy cameras.
