so tightening will not secure the handle; I can still pinch and move the camera with one finger. Also, the panning motion is jerky, like it's "capturing" - I had a hard time panning the video more than 90 degrees smoothly. Replaced it with B&H's Feisol PB-70 which is MUCH better. Unfortunately, it's also a bit heavier, but I'm happy to accept that. Also note that panorama bases can have a locking handle on the base or on the top. The handle either stays on the tripod when the camera is rotated (as with this one), or the handle rotates with the camera (as with Feisol). Just a matter of preference, but using it might make a difference for you.
