Spare Tripod Head
I bought this tripod head as a spare. It comes apart and fits in my duffel and is easy to put together.

Excellent
I have two of these heads for still work, love them. They hold my CANON 5D Mk II with a 70-300mm lens and flash at any angle without slippage.

Great tripod head at a first rate price
Use for astronomy. Very stable when used with binoculars or small telescope. Controls move smoothly. Great replacement head for stable tripod.

This was attached to my Slik Pro 700 DX
I have no complaints about the PRO 700 DX tripod, but this attached pan and tilt head needs improvement. When the handles are loosened enough to allow movement of the head, the handles are loose and floppy in their threads. Combine the loose handles with the binding or stiction of the movements and I find this head is nearly unusable for precise adjustments, such as in macro or astro photography. It works OK for normal photography, but the problems are still noticeable; for precise adjustment the problems really frustrate me. I think I would rather recommend a good ball head to a friend.

Good replacement for older unit
Bought this unit to replace much older original head on Slik U212 tripod updated design puts the old U212 back in the game.

Heavy, but very sturdy.
This is the sturdiest and most heavy-duty tripod I have found at this price-point. I use this with my Canon 40D for studio portraits and I have been extremely happy with the build quality of this tripod. Weight isn't an issue for me most of the time, but if it's an issue for you, you might want to look at more portable models. I wouldn't want to truck this around in my pack, but for studio shots and some location photography, this is awesome.The head is pretty decent, but it lacks any type of leveling device, so you are on your own to try and guess. This isn't a huge drawback, but it's a nice feature that even the [...]cheap-o tripods offer. The bright side is that SLIK has a pretty wide range of heads to choose from if you want to upgrade.All-in-all, this is a great tripod for any photographer wanting a professional level tripod at an affordable price.

good choice
This is the same head I had before, but broke. this is an acceptable head for my use as I don't use my tripod all the time. Would not reccomend for heavy use. Clamps are not the strongest, but are not weak by any means.
