Opinion:I use this head on Manfrotto 190 X PROB, together they are a fantastic pairing that I have been using for years. Also used in decidedly critical situations, including once on a pier with strong wind, the camera has not moved minimally, people who passed me looking like I was a fool to hold the camera so, a chap stopped to ask me that tripod Using... hallucinating! Big Manfrotto!
Cons:Perhaps a little hard at first we must perhaps wait for it to lubricate well
Opinion:Recently bought together with the 290 Dual, excellent for what is needed for me, SLR with BG and 70 200 without problems some even vertically, only flaw that then sins is not, is that it was delivered to me with the pattern recognition sticker 494 RC2, after an exchange of emails they recognized the mistake saying that they had wrong sticker! and it goes well! for the rest perfect for amateur photographers!
Cons:nobody; From 10 if it had clutch control with handle (video head type)
Opinion:Head for Manfrotto MT 190 X PRO4 Tripod; For sure relying on lots of situations, weight in the standard and high quality components. It would be perfect with handle-controlled clutch instead of pot. For next template bubble tip to add on the hook besides the base. For the rest nothing to say, I think over time will test the life of the components, having bought it for less than a week ...
Pros:Price, build quality, capacity and reliability.
Cons:For now nothing.
Opinion:Using this head for a few months, coupled with MT290XTA tripod. Fully satisfied, both of the head of the tripod in general. The head in question is very reliable, a lockout once the screw is difficult to move, with proven equipment up to 3kg in precarious situation and with strong wind, and in any case has never ceduto.rnUtile also the presence of the clutch, in the case of having to use the free head, which allows a good fluidity controllabile.rnPer time riscontrato.rn no defect
Pros:Very robust, reliable, accurate quick release
Cons:Nothing
Opinion:affordability, great portability having a low weight and precision use. I use it for 3 years and has never given me any kind of problem by using it both for birds and for landscaping. High quality adjustment between the sphere and the clutch block. Even at low temperatures does not have the slightest hesitation.
Pros:Stable, high quality materials, well built, quality / price ratio
Cons:Hardly anyone (see review)
Opinion:The only factor against is knowing how to adjust friction between the block and ball, certainly not a fault of the head. For the rest of the head is very solid, usable even with 100-400. A rock with all the targets within the 70 / 100mm. I bought it to replace a head 391RC2 3 moves and I was pleased with the advantages of the sphere
Opinion:In my view, has an excellent quality / price ratio. The use of a 190 same brand and they never gave stability problems. Sometimes I climb on top of a slide also fine for macro photography and works great even così.rnSecondo me is recommended for many situations, except in cases where it is essential to something even more robust for optical camera + really heavy
Pros:Easy to use, small footprint and relatively low weight.
Cons:For the price offered in its category no
Opinion:Head very reliable and compact size. Easy to use thanks to the two clamping levers allows the head to rotate 360 ??degrees to make the move or just the part with the ball. Sledge with quick release perfect and always tight. Given the size and services offered recommend the purchase to anyone who needs a head to match your manfrotto.
Pros:Definitely very robust despite only weighs 4 ounces, reliable in every occasion (basically a tractor) quick release always accurate.
Cons:It is not a head with painstaking precision rack so it is not his forte.
Opinion:The use for the past two years, mounted on a 60d + 70-200 L, I was never given any kind of problem, but in composing a macro can not count on small spostameti you miss the rack, but this head is not designed to This one. rnConsigliata for more than affordable price and also for portability.
Opinion:For 75 euro it is hard to find better: this is a great all-rounder head economical, suitable for both landscape use that for photos with moderate tele (I used it with no problems with the Canon 100-400). A bit on the edge you can get to ride inside a 300 2.8, although for these focal council heads more professional. It weighs 100 grams more than the 494 and is a little bigger, but it is also more solid and overall it's still a head easy to take with you, without becoming too heavy backpack. Very recommended!
