Manfrotto quality in a well-engineered tripod head. Adjustable friction on movements makes it adaptable to different configurations of camera & lens as the weight atop the tripod changes. The traditional layout of the fore-and-aft movement control handle in the rear with the side-to-side rotation control handle on the right is very intuitive for those of us 'old hands' that prefer the independent controls over a ball-head. The retractable handles allow the head to fit nicely into my tripod case. Manfrotto implements a proprietary 'quick release' plate. This is my only knock against Manfrotto's tripod heads, because one of my lenses is equipped with an Arca-Swiss type quick release. The result is that I have to choose between mounting Manfrotto plates on camera and lens, or an Arca plate on the camera, depending on whether I'm shooting atop the tripod or atop my ball head-equipped monopod. All that said, if you're looking for a traditional 3-way head, I highly recommend the X-Pro.Read full review

This is one of Manfrotto's latest three way pan/tilt heads, and probably one of their best ever. Three bubble levels, friction control on the tilt movements and retracting handles combine to make this one of the nicest pan/tilt heads there is.

Its not a gear head but I'm still liking it alot. So much more precise than a ball head. At least for me it is.

This is my first Manfrotto head and I'm totally happy with, I use it with my Canon 5D M3, with either 24-105L, 16-35L or 24-70L and head support any of them additional to Flash, GPS or Wireless File transmitter. I love to have control of each angle (up/down-horizontal/vertical) because of it's construction.

The 3-way head is well made with excellent control on the 3 axis, but on the downside it is bulky and not able to fold up. The head adapts to most any tripod with a 3/8" threaded stud. It can hold my camera easily with no sagging on a critical shot.

This is the third one of these that I have purchased and this one is just as great as the first two. Smooth, precise operation. Small and compact yet they will carry a lot of weight. Well done Manfrotto!
