5 out of 5 stars Great Tripod Head!   August 27, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This is a great tripod head. It has a quality build and is very versatile. It came shipped in the right-hand operation configuration (as shown), but I easily converted it to be controlled with my left hand. I found this to be a much more natural position allowing my right hand to hold the camera grip, manipulate the camera position, and fire the shutter of my DSLR.


3 out of 5 stars Nice in theory, so-so in practice   August 8, 2008

While the concept of a ball head adjustable with a hand-held grip is nice, in practice I have found this head to be too heavy and obtrusive when traveling. The hand-grip also requires more-than-expected force, and one's hand can quickly grow sore. I have returned this item in exchange for a much lighter and less obtrusive Gitzo ball head.


5 out of 5 stars No complaints whatsoever   July 4, 2008
This is a fun ball head to work with, very stable and has a bubble level if you need it. I'm not sure the level will do much for you if you move the mounting plate. The plate can be moved from the location on the handle shown in the picture to the base of the handle. The only reason I can imagine anyone doing that would be to get a few extra inches of height, or if you like vertically positioning your camera more than the normal horizontal so that the level worked for vertical instead of horizontal.


5 out of 5 stars Great Choice   June 21, 2008
I've been using this product for a couple of months now. The grip release is more useful than I anticiated. It works well with all my lenses including the 100-400mm IS on my Canon40D. Only down side is using for panoramic photos.. no way to keep the horizontal plane, but I mostly use for lowlight situations when using very slow shutters.. setup is easy and positioning the camera is a snap.


4 out of 5 stars Arrived USED when bought new.   June 15, 2008

This review is more about the fact that businesses tend to think it's ok to restock used returns and sell them later as new. That is not cool.

I spend my hard earned money on this product and guess what? There are scratches at the bottom and it's obviously been used. The threads at the bottom were obviously already screwed onto a tripod.

You know what else? What is that little rattley gold lever on the side? It just wouldn't stop rattling. Anyway, now it's getting returned again by me.
If you order this product and you notice scratches at the bottom it's the one I had before you. (I don't even have a tripod to screw it onto. That was the person who obviously used/abused it before it got to me.)

Shame on businesses who sell used items as new.
