What a head!

I absolutely love this thing. I bought the head because of its 75mm bowl, plus the ability to go flat for my Edelkrone slider. I combined it with Miller legs and a Benro flat 75mm bowl adapter for the perfect tripod. This thing is fluid, rock solid and hyper-intuitive design. Great tension and the ability to go to zero-resistance is a great way to emulate hand-hels without handholding your entire rig. If you're thinking about buying this, do it now.
