Great Panhead

Great Panhead. Panoramic pictures are so much easier to take, regardless of the angle of the terrain. Just adjust the head with the provided levers and "voila"! The rotation of the camera will be on the perfect axle throughout the panning process. As one could adjust all axes separately, there is no more fumbling with the ball head (especially with a heavier camera/lens combination. The 2 handles that are sticking out can quickly be flattened for easy storage. I should have bought one of these a long time ago! This head can easily be used for video also.

Great if you're taking your time

I bought this head for my larger Induro GIT 404XL tripod, because I'd be using it for landscapes and could take the time to fine tune each dial separately. It is a bit heavy, but very convenient and has so many levels, you can't be unsure if you're leveled off. If you don't mind the weight and the time to use this head, it's a great buy.

Great tripod head for the price

Arca Swiss plates do not work with this head. My Kirk Enterprize Plates and camera brackets work well.

Tripod Head with Great Flexibility

I wanted a highly flexible head so I could use the camera at any angle/position. Mated to a Gitzo GT2541EX Series 2 6x Carbon Fiber 4 Section G-Lock Tripod, there is almost no positioning that is not possible. It may be too complex for some users, but I like it. Well made of quality materials, but still from [*]. Good investment.

Fast Response, Superb Construction

First full day I had it, I went to Millennium Park and shot for four hours at sunrise. The fast response of the controls made tripod work a pleasure again. Particularly during "golden hours" photography when the best lighting can last only seconds, this resposiveness is critical. The craftsmanship is felt instantly when picking up the product and securing it to the tripod. Quality in every area.

Incredible in many ways!

The first item I received had play in the forward/rear tilt so I contacted [...] Induro. [...] responded very promptly (it was a weekend), [...] Induro called right away and I sent the unit back to them. The response was "we need you, you don't need us" - I am going to use that - and they sent me a new one which arrived in 3 days. Problem solved. Rock solid and absolutely what I had hoped for in an alternative to a ball head. A great company and a great product!
