Manfrotto XPRO Geared 3 Way Pan/Tilt Head with Adapto Body

Manfrotto is the best! Great value for the money. I have their light stands, tripods, monopods, and gear head. This gear head is really easy to adjust and it stays were you put it. It's well made and solid.

After shooting product photos on a Manfrotto ball head for many years, the past month of shooting with this 3 gear head has really made me wonder how I'd went so long without it. Small tilt adjustment when shooting products in a studio environment with a ball head was often times a test of patience, or luck of the tightened bolt, and never perfect. Now, with a few tiny cranks I can lock in everything perfectly straight in a matter of about a minute and a couple reference shots. Even the stylist noticed and commented on how much quicker and efficient this part of our setup was. For anyone doing any type of photography where fine-tuning of your tilt/angle is imperative then as silly as it sounds this easily will become the new piece of gear that you're most excited about.

I really like the unit other than it isn't super stiff. I would like to have it flex less. Also would like to have a arca-swiss plate or at least a good adapter since there are way more options on the arca-swiss platform. I use this for architectural photography

It’s a great tripod head, capable of supporting my Nikon and 70-200 f-2.8 telephoto lens.

I moved from a ball head to this one, and I couldn't be happier! The build quality is great. Nice and heavy but not overdone. Operation is smooth and precise. It's exactly what I was looking for!

Its my first real experience with a geared head but it does exactly as I would expect. Built solidly - not metal but rather some composite material. Operates smoothly and overall is a good calue for the money...

No more guesswork with slopped hills or uneven floors. Very high quality at a really decent price

It has been while since I have upgraded my three-way ball head but since adding a Tamron 150-600mm to my quiver, I wanted something that would be good for full moons and other static shots that would allow for precision framing. This geared version is excellent. Great value for the money.

The thing is a great tripod, sturdy, way easy to operate...... craftsmanship looks exceptionally good will now be putting it through its paces.

I absolutely love this geared head! Fine adjustments are made easily and the quick release levers make larger adjustments done quickly! If you are considering this head, done hesitate, best geared head for the price!

The problem I was facing was that using ball heads etc always needed some correction. For some of my pictures, I needed precise camera positioning (such as product photography). Yes, I could adjust pictures in whatever software, but I try to get the shot right in the first instance. This is the tool to get. I then used the head with my Nikkor 500mm/f8 lens. The trouble is that it is a mirrored lens and fairly light, hence prone to blurry pictures because of camera movement. Using the Manfrotto head on a Tripod, I could quickly adjust height etc. and had perfect level pictures of moving subjects. I am very pleased and can highly recommend it.

I have purchased several Manfrotto products over the years and found them all to be great! So, when I saw the XPRO Geared 3-Way Pan/Tilt tripod head, it was a no brainer. I have used it several times during the last few weeks to shoot some macros. The knobs make it easy to compose. Just a little twist does the job. A great product and easy to use. And a word about Adorama. They are a GREAT company to do business with. Always courteous sales and tech people. Prompt deliveries. Can't ask for much more.

I have a Manfrotto XPRO ball head which is very easy to use but lacks precision control. I used it to shoot moon pictures and it was very difficult to frame the moon in the center of the view screen, especially with a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L plus a 1.4X converter on EOS 6D. With the three-way head, I can easily frame the moon with a Sigma 150-600mm C on EOS 7D Mark II. The quick release handles allow me to do coarse adjustment and the knobs allow me to do fine adjustment. I don't think I am going back to the ball head.

I wanted to like this. I have a 3 other heads that use the same baseplate and didn't want to switch baseplates every time I go to my gear head. I have been using the 410 for a while and figured it would be similar. It's useless. I mounted a D810, with a battery grip and a 24-70. This is well within the weight specs of the head but it bobbled and giggled around like crazy. The slightest tap to the tripod sent the head vibrating. Don't waste your money. The Manfrotto 410 has been great to me, it's just a pain to swap plates.

I purchased my Monfroto 290 tripod with a804RC2 pan head a few years ago. As I began improving my photography skills ad took courses at the local Community College, I found time was wasted setting up my tripod and sometimes missed a good photograph due to the problem. I enhanced that by purchasing a #438 leveling head to eliminate some of the frustrating juggling of tripod leg length to get the head leveled. Since I like city/landscape and real estate photography, a level camera is essential. Therefore, I purchased the MHXPRO-3WG geared head to enable ease of micro-adjustment of the camera position once the base head was level. This has helped get the tripod and camera adjustments done much quicker and more accurately for this specialized type of photography.

I use this mount with my Canon 70D and my Tamron 150-600mm lens.

Needed a new head and this new version of the 3D head is just so much better than the previous version
