Tools are not included. the best of tripods and monopods

Tools shown in header images are not included. One star deducted for misleading advertising. The panorama head itself is very well made. You can hear and feel "clicks" as the main body rotates.

Pros
  • Crossing my fingers
Cons
  • Base required

Very good panoramic base.

Ideal for panoramic shots. I highly recommend it as it has adjustable increment clicks and makes capturing night panoramas much easier without having to turn on your headlamp to check the angle.

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Not as advertised but good nonetheless.

Ordered a Fotga DH-55 and got a Fittest HD-55 instead. It appears to be identical although it does not have the tools as shown in the pictures. The device is well made and runs relatively quietly, and the numbers are actually laser engraved. The base diameter is 55mm, not 50mm as listed (hence the model number HD-55), and the overall height is 53mm as listed. I will be replacing the lanyard as it is so stiff it interferes with using the locking handle. All in all it's worth the money and willโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Safety

Good index rotator for panoramic photos

Just got DH-55D index rotator. My first tests are positive. The device looks solid and works as intended. The product photos show two small flat plates, it is not clear if they are wrenches or gauges, but they were not included. The device includes an attached Arca-Swiss head mount plate between the head and the camera; This is not how I would recommend. Instead, use the included hex wrench to remove the Arca-Swiss plate adapter, mount the DH-55D directly onto the tripod, and mount the head onโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Waiting
Cons
  • Speed

Buy American - Camera & Photo

This head should make an audible click when rotated through selected angles. The item I received does not make any noise even when it is put to your ear. This is an obviously serious error which is why I am returning the product. In addition, the locking cable is so tight that the selector knob can only be screwed in with great difficulty. As other reviews rate this product highly, I can only assume I received a defective copy. Another small problem is that the kit does not come withโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quick change
Cons
  • Almost never
