Opinion:A beautiful well-built, massive head is with an excellent grip of its large knobs. It was my first head from landscapes, macro and astrophotography. Hard to make adjustments of up, this its only "defect". Great to start with an important tripod is therefore not suitable for small tripods.
Opinion:I use this head for 4 years now, and I used it especially with Canon 5DMKIII + Sigma 150-500, never move! Really a show! But it is imfeasible to think of loading it on the backpack and walk around Km... Unfortunately I did and the weight has felt all right! Used in combination with Manfrotto MT 294 A4, a bomb together with regard to the scope and stability, but a boulder with regard to portability. Of course, if you have cars and heavy Ob, there is little escape...
Opinion:Bought used mounted on a Manfrotto 190 GO, I immediately appreciated the resistance of the tightening screws. I mounted a Nikon 200-500 with the Nikon d610. Weight of about 3 kg. This is the first time I've seen a stable image. Maybe I would have shortened the knobs to reduce the footprint, but it is very convenient once placed the tripod. The advice for people like me needs to wind up as much as possible, especially for macros.
Cons:Bulky, fine adjustments (especially on the vertical axis), weight
Opinion:I just took the 496RC2 (ball) which almost certainly be using in place of the one in object, which has by its excellent strength and solidity, but at the same time it is difficult to position for fine adjustments, as well as to be excessively uncomfortable and cumbersome to transport mounted on the tripod (I have a 190)
Opinion:I possess for three years and I was always good, needs a good ride, but we're fine on the 055 and the locking system prevents inadvertent head is sganci.rnIl weight is not excessive and the flow is good, l ' only fault I find is the fact that lack of clutch for easy regolazione.rnAl proposed price is a good buy
Opinion:I did not read reviews before buying, I saw it in the store and took home the 294A4 with his head in the kit, are entered immediately in confidence with the quick release, with one hand holding the camera, with the 'the other one acts as turning a key in the lock, I think nn as complicated as written by others. The head is a little heavy, which gives it some stability, but often travel in motion and I will assess definitely a ball head for the convenience of transport, rn
Pros:3 functional head movements and precise thanks to the graduated scale on the joints, level for optimal positioning movements ... enough fluid head is very stable ...
Cons:tripping too hard .... heavy head
Opinion:I use it now for three weeks as I find great value for money for more professional uses obviously need to spend more but for a beginner or as a second head and perfect RNLA scale and useful for panoramic photography to fine-tune the movement of the lens rnrobusta and solid with little jerky movements sufficiently fluid and in fact recommended
Cons:I am not at all well with the quick-release plate; it is extremely hard to unlock.
Opinion:As I said, the only flaw I find in the quick-release lever; given that its typical use is to just unlock the plate with a certain speed, going to act anyway with two hands, one of which holds the tripod and the camera body at the same time, the time impipegato for the operation seems to contradict with its intended purpose. There should be a lever that acts as a "lever", in fact, to relieve stress.
