Review on Koolehaoda Professional Heavy-Duty Metal Gimbal Tripod Head - Arca Swiss Quick Release Plate, Bubble Level - Supports Digital SLR Cameras up to 26lbs/12kg by Christian Barnes

I really wanted to love this stabilizer especially after reading all the great reviews. I give it 3 stars when I contacted the seller/manufacturer and they were very responsive and offered a modest price reduction for my difficulty, otherwise my rating would have been a lot lower. The swingarm didn't work smoothly so after watching many videos on You Tube I decided to disassemble the swingarm. It's poor quality...there are plastic bushings and washers inside, and the aluminum finish is substandard. I removed all the sticky grease and re-greased with bike bearing grease to make it smoother, but the action is still pretty poor. Maybe I expected too much at this price...
