Rated 5 out of 5

Rock solid

I never again have to worry about any head movement as my camera weight goes off center with star tracker rotation (overkill is better than adequate). All movements on this head are smooth as butter and friction control has good range and fine adjustment. A bit pricy but worth the comfort level.
