Pros: Enables accurate framing.

Cons: I could not work vertically on the Milky Way's pictures at the zenith (or I was in trouble because of lack of skills)

Opinion: I use 9 months, mounted on the OBO Copact Light BS2551 stand for the lightweight O-MD E-M10 MK II set. The adjustment of the shifting force in the 2 axes is excellent, it allows for smooth adjustment (the third axis has no pressure regulation). The relatively large mass ensures high payload and stability of work. Aesthetic performance. Bag handles are convenient for transport. The rubber elements are pleasant to the touch. Work at night is intuitive, the knobs are ergonomically placed. Very good for me.

Pros: Very robust, pleasant to the touch, rather precise, very useful bubbles.

Cons: Some finish can be improved, some limitation on Zenith tilt.

Opinion: Bought in bundle to the excellent tripoide MT055XPRO3, on balance is coming about €100. It does not have the mobility of a ball head or the precision of a 3-way rack, but it fits exactly in the middle. Use it with profit and satisfaction and the knobs do their job without presenting the flaws complained in the other reviews. Goodness is observed with very heavy equipment, what matters most. Rated 8.5

Pros: Aesthetically beautiful and very pleasant feeling to the touch between the rubber of the handgrips and the cold mechanical metal we use to move the three axes. Bubbles leveling plus absolutely highlight.

Cons: Finishing materials (more 'quality' maybe, I would say) not up to the Made in Italy (as labeled well exposed, and on the head and on tripod).

Opinion: Mounted on a tripod Manfrotto 190 MT X PRO3 - and 'a head that qualitatively well mates with this stand. NOT 'a geared head, so do not complain if it is not' accurate as you wanted (EH !!) but in return well holds the nearly 3 pounds of my kit (and in reality 'can' even more 'specified) . I would say that 'a good alternative if you want to have a versatile head also to turn a simple video being on site. What NOT impressed positively were the finishing material: the coupling part where you screw the levers (3) of facts, presents sbocconcellature that more 'made in Italy, I remember a made in Bangladesh, or made in -where-you-want. Also I am not convinced too that the washers softening all'avvitaggio the same levers are free free to move up and down '... Nothing compromising the functionality' of the same head anyway.

Pros: good quality aluminum, boils at 3 levels

Cons: knobs poor

Opinion: Beautiful to look at, but does not have the slots for the dowels to stop the engagement, the knobs are hollow plastic and sealed with a cap attached with a glue-like attack, you can detach it under strong pressure: there is a spring inside. rnGlobalmente does not give me custody: in a day of shooting, if the cap was off, it would be a nice problema.rnUna fall style that I did not expect from Manfrotto, for me that is just enough.
