Review on Enhance your Photography with the Tripod Pan Head: 360 Degrees Smooth Rotation Tilt Head by Courtney Knight

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very nice and light head

Very nice and light head. Light in the sense that it weighs a little, but strong enough to fit my Canon 5DM4 at 70-200mm f/2.8. I would give it 5 stars except that the top plate adjustment knob doesn't clear the knot slider when you add it to create panoramas. It gets in the way maybe 1/16 inch. Sanded with coarse sandpaper, everything is fine now. See photo. I think it works great for the price. Oh, and I also forgot to mention that the 1/4"-3/8" screw adapter has a flange that prevents it from being screwed in deep enough to clean the bottom of the bowl head. This will prevent the pan head from fully seating on the tripod and may bend or loosen during panning. I replaced the flangeless screw adapter with another flat head I have and the problem was solved. It's a 10 cent item, but now I have to buy a five-pack for $5.99 to replace the one I borrowed. After re-reading my review, I feel I should downgrade it to three stars, but I still like it. Someone should have paid attention to these little things.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Only available in white
