Velbon PH-285 Large Magnesium 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head, Supports 22 lbs.

Large-size 3-way head provides excellent support and versatility. Tilting 90° ispossible in both directions, & both handles can be removed & reinstalled to accommodate the left-handed user. Ideal for use on Neo Carmagne 730, 740, 830 and 840 tripod legs. The camera platform measures 3.6" x 4.1" (91mm x 104mm) with a base diameter of 2.6" (66mm).

This panhead utilizes very strong, lightweight magnesium construction. Magnesium's specific gravity of 1.7 makes it the lightest utility metal, lighter by 2/3 than aluminum and 1/4 than iron, but with superior hardness and strength to both. Magnesium also copes well with vibration, and retains its dimensions even with changes in temperature. It is also highly resistant to corrosion.
