Review on πŸ“· Slik SH-704E: Compact All-Metal 3-Way Pan Head with Quick Release – Premium Quality Photography Accessory by Heather Joseph

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Broke on third use - Camera & Photo

This is a solid part for the price but mine broke pretty quickly. I tightened the pan and tilt knobs, and I think I overtightened and stripped the screws that go from the knob to the head. Doing this is a total loss mistake. I didn't even over tighten it, I just didn't want my 2000 camera to fall off like a sane person would. I have worked with Slik materials before and have always been impressed with the quality of their materials. I trust them to keep my 2K camera going. But after it happened, I'm not exactly sure. So maybe I'm just crazy? So I bought back the same head hoping it doesn't happen again and I really enjoy using Slik so will give it another try. Hope that helps! Do not overtighten, otherwise the screws will tear off!

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Very expensive
