Absolutely amazing tripod and head

Absolutely amazing tripod and head. I've used a few of these on shoots with other camera operators and realized that they were mountains above the current system I was using. The design and features of the head are so well thought out and easy to use. Of course, it comes with a high price but with this system, you get exactly what you pay for.
