Tripod head. The star ratings ask how clean and warm it is! I think there is a little confusion. It won't keep you warm and it certainly won't be sexy or transparent! But as a tripod head, it's great. My only complaint is the mounting screw is short and my tripod will hook the azimuth screw. I need to install a spacer to give the handle clearance. But other than that it seems very good value for money. Holds my heavy Canon 7D Mk 2 with large lens perfectly.
