Pros: 1) light weight; Light for its category (nominally holds 4kg), compared to the other in circulation except for the dear Arca-Swiss D4 RN2) convenience '; fast clamp commands so 'as the positioning end knobs are comfortable RN3) robustness; time will tell 'but the polymer of which' made by 'idea of ??robustness of the whole; obviously the internal mechanism (worm and rack) and 'metal, it can be seen peering through the fast positioning pliers (which unfortunately could enter the dirt but') RN4) guarantee; registering your product you are entitled to 8 years of extended warranty that with 2 bill goes to 10 years which is not 'just
Cons: 1) overall dimensions; if it was more 'small it would be better (for my part I would accept even a reduced flow); but perhaps this would mean employing a metal alloy and the costs would grow so 'as the weight and then ... there is' already the 410 junior 2) own engagement; the coupling system to the plate 200 and PL 'did really well (good and safe practice) but despite widespread remains the owner; Manfrotto should let the chance 'to mount any clamp without the need for expensive third-party adapter kit; inter alia although the 200PL is not very great, and the 'on a mirrorless. Whereas there are many plate Ark compatible, small, thin and even square so 'as to attack the machine rotated by 90 degrees and that' useful in different situations. 3) some mechanical imperfection; the jump going from "quick" position to the end, even if it is not a problem (maybe over time accelerate wear) and not ' "nice" and let the ideaof an approximate mechanical; should eliminatorn4) to want to be picky, but maybe not, the open space (from which you can see the worm screw mechanism / rack) at the level of the release pliers / speed block, could let imply dirt then difficult to remove; disassembly and especially the replacement for cleaning, do not think is available to everyone; the "light" through which can 'get the dirt, should perhaps be closed more (unless it proves useful to carry out a partial lubrication, but I doubt it)
Opinion: EDIT 24/11/2016 after over a year of use. Well, unfortunately I have to agree with those who say (there are a couple of video reviews in significant network) that the head is not at all rigid. Putting on an optical super telephoto 300mm, however slight (of the order of just over a kilo, is a lens m43), inter alia on the collar, then together with a well balanced, trigger annoying vibrations clearly visible to the eye, already just by pressing the shutter button that does not dampen completely within 2 seconds, so much so that I had to set the self-timer to 10 seconds (which I never do) to make sure you avoid the rough. I therefore ask you in case of strong wind (and gusts), that happens to everything. It could actually be a cause of shake-and be unusable with certain equipment. This does not happen with a trivial to solid ball head (a mere 40mm ball diameter). I intend to do other tests with the paintings as the predominant use was macro / wide angle landscapes .___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________rnrnrnrnProvata in macro. He states that he had never had other heads rack "small" like the 410 or the arca-swiss D4 can not make a comparison. rnrnAttrezzatura used: rn- Manfrotto MHXPRO-3WG XPRO with clamp Sirui MP-20 fixed to the plate 200PL-14 (I'll take 'more' forward hejnar kit to remove the removable plate and fit it all directly to clamp ... more 'clean ) rn- Novoflex TRIOPOD with aluminum legs, new type with fixed long metal spike, covered with cap rn- slide with micrometric rubber hejnar clamp Ark compatible and safey fixed pin rn- M.ZUIKO 60mm f2.8 macro Olympus OMD E-M10 with plate Ark compatible peak design rnrnLa head looks good, very solid, although in "plastic", with all the levels that serve clearly visible (on a tripod for leveling and two on the head). The attack on the chamber and 'offset from the attack of the head and this is not my case, could create some problems in more'Of imbalance for the heavy equipment. It 's not excluded that this has affected the lower sealing loads than its big brother 410J most' of different building materials, polymer instead of 'metal alloy. The commands for millimetric displacements in the three directions are hard but very comfortable. Make the shot and 'a pleasure, the ball head drove me crazy. Despite the very light equipment, a close time, always was a bit 'down' the shot. But I think this is common to most ball heads. When you fast framing acting on the gripper can 'happen that do not happen engagement with the rack so the first lap there is' a leap of adjustment knob. Since 'the thing' predictable (it appears that the clamp and not 'reopened well), just move a little' more 'forward or a little' more 'back to get the full release or accept the "jump" and refine &F2747 / media_document / live_2 / MHXPRO3WG_20150203.pdf? 1426547847). no bending rnrnNon known although my equipment not even exceeds the pound, so they are well within the 4 kg reported. If there are the displacements are related to other factors, for example of the tripod (very useful, practically indispensable spikes metal in the soil in place of rubber feet). rnrnSuperato the declared load (just put even just a pound and a half, but not centered, so unbalanced) it is impossible to adjust the lift even if held. E 'but useless for making inquadratura.rnrnL'accoppiata with home Manfrotto tripod MT190GOA4TD 190Go! allows you to benefit from the macro to the rack and landscapes although it even transportable backpack, total weight 2.3 kg. |
