Pros: Robustness, materials, price

Cons: unstable vertical position, the quick release system does not always comfortable

Opinion: In relation to the price (about 50 €) I consider it a very solid and robust head, does its job unobtrusively and movements in the three streets are pretty fluid without presenting mechanical loose in the building. In the vertical position, despite regga a maximum weight of 5 kg, is still quite pliable tightening strongly the plate pin in the camera body, especially with a discrete lens weight (eg. With Tokina 16-28 AT-X PRO in my case ). Presents obviously the quick release but you have to pay special attention in the docking maneuver of the plate to the head as it is a maneuver that, under some conditions, it is not always smooth, it is easy to leave one side of the plate outside the apartment without realizing with consequent drop in camera.

Pros: Excellent materials, price

Cons: gives slightly when the camera was in the vertical position

Opinion: With the camera in a vertical position gave way a little bit, and the combination body + lens was perhaps more than a kilo but not more. The thing me a bit 'infastidito.rnPer serious use better to spend a little' more and take a model superiore.rnSecondo me is suitable for entry-level equipment or otherwise be read.

Pros: Well built by counting the very low price.

Cons: the z-axis (the vertical / horizontal plate) is a bit 'mushy, or hard to shake, take your pick - a bit' pesantuccia and little 'awkward when you want to be fast and lightweight, but it is a 3-head movements, so ...

Opinion: It 's the head that I use currently, with me for 3 years, and has suffered from beatings on the rocks all over Europe, but it still works perfectly except for the scratches. The z-axis of the plate, it locks very easily, if you pressure tends to loosen, and for vertical shots where you need maximum alignment, you have to lose a bit 'of time to fix it for good. 3 rnEssendo movement is awkward because, in fact, we have 3 axes (to be adjusted as opposed to a sphere that are immediate, more is added to the quick release plate that if appoggiaste the tripod on my shoulder, I remember everything that falls :) . rnUna ball is the most comfortable and lightweight for strictly landscape, panoramic anything though, and I'm looking for a down to tile. rnrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrn

Pros: Well built, quality materials, solid and sturdy

Cons: Uncomfortable (depending on use)

Opinion: It was my first head coupled to the tripod Manfrotto 190XB, basically I needed a head for landscapes and maybe some pose that requires more stability, but I had left out the factor of speed and ease of the movements so I then replaced with a head always Manfrotto 496RC2 ball. With this are faster to choose the correct location and I can use it as a base 'articulated'. Essentially a three-way head serves those who want to adjust one / two axes at a time, for example video or panoramic, for other uses may be an awkward solution because every time you find yourself staring and adjust each axis by loosening the three knobs each time.
