Photo head won't tighten.

1-12-2014. Extremely frustrating because I have to use "Kentucky windage" to tighten down, and hope the subsequent swing downwards ends up where I wanted it to be.

Expensive, but worth it.

This tripod head is solid as a rock and does a great job holding a heavy camera and lens. Might be a little overkill for simple home use, but if you really want a solid tripod head which is also fantastic for shooting video - this is perfect.

Excellent Product

This is the best tripod head I have used. Considering the price, it is as precise as could be expected and is easy to adjust once you get the hang of it.

Very versatile head

Solid, versatile head, good controls, very good adjustments possible, a bit bulky and heavy to take it hiking to remote locations, though.

This is fantistic

This head stands out far above any of its competitors. Sturdy, extremely functional and usable for nearly any type of photo and video event. No other head (at any price) can match the capabilities of this professional quality tool.
