Pros: precise, removable handle, is good for both photo and video, clutch

Cons: Heavy weights I think most of the Manfrotto 190

Opinion: The use for both photo and video. For video very fluid and adjustment of the counterbalance in the case of long lenses. Adjustable lever in all positions and removable, clutches excellent! To have the ability to take pictures in vertical back in place with a locking lever. Easy positioning of the room like a ball head! Equipped with bubble for leveling. Really good but not suitable for travel!

Pros: Material of construction, robustness, precision, levels everywhere, ability to quickly disassemble the handle, clutch and fluid iperprecisa

Cons: Weight (considering the size, however, not lost it, it was done a very good job of lightening), size.

Opinion: And 'perhaps one of the best heads I've used, it is certainly a head to put in the backpack, but for projects in both urban and nature is fantastic, is very precise and fluid, the spring return system that allows you to avoid tripping during the video can be turned off with a switch so you can turn heads in a photographic tool. The head also has a lock horizontal and one vertical, ie, assuming that the stand is level, you can bring your head in the engaged position or vertical position in vertical shutter release with a specific block, without the need to put on the bubble as you should do with a ball head, this makes the operation very much veloci.rnConsigliatissima all videomakers that record with reflex.
