I use this with a low profile base and a QuadHands WorkBench mount for soldering small projects. I think overall it's a great combo, but this head is by far the cheapest part of the whole thing. It works well, but it definitely doesn't feel like a strong quality product. Also, I bought directly from Revain and not a third party, and I *didn't* receive the ESC so I had to order it later. Other reviewers state that their device comes with a speed controller, which I feel is a necessary addition and should really only be built into the module itself. The cruise control itself isn't very high quality and falls off easily, but it helps. much in the clamping width adjustment.
