This is a great head. Smooth, solid, a quality build. Handles heavier video cameras with ease, adjustable pan and tilt drag work flawlessly. The 4 click tilt counter balance is also perfect. Lighted bubble is nice too, especially since you can't see it unless illuminated. It is on the heavy side and on a good set of legs is a bit to tote about. So not what you would call a portable rig to take on a hike. But for anything else this is now my go to head.

Not only is it good looking it also performs well. Separate tilt and pan friction knobs, click as you adjust them for precise settings. Also has pan and tilt locking knobs if you want to lock down a shot. The built in 75mm half ball leveler stays put where you leave it. Instantly allowing you to level the camera. The long quick release plate allows you to balance the camera load instantly. The long telescoping pan handle is great for smooth pans and tilts. The 4 position counter balance knob is great to prevent nose dives on extreme tilts. You can turn it off or there is 3 positions of varying weight depending on your camera load. Light up bubble level is nice in dark rooms. Great value for the money!

There are more expensive, heavy duty options for tripod heads. However, if you're working with cameras and peripheral gear that weigh less than 15 lbs., then this is a great option. Smooth movement, adjustable to various weights, and uses a standard 75 or 100 legs with its built in adapter.
