Great pan head for photography

After I put it to the test, I am impressed with this pan head. It was easy to use and provided smooth movement for my camera. The build quality is also impressive, as it feels sturdy and well-made. The pan head also has a nice design that matches the rest of my photography equipment.

Pros
  • Smooth movement, sturdy build quality, nice design
Cons
  • None come to mind

very jerky pans, DO NOT BUY

says it's a pan head but swivel is something it's not capable of . , it is shaky, does not withstand the slightest wind, and after repeated campaigns it began to loosen!

Pros
  • Durability - strong lightweight aluminum for long life and smooth fluid swivel mechanism
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Not compatible with Arca-Swiss

My unit arrived in used condition and is missing the quick release plate. It is NOT compatible with Arca-Swiss and none of my other quick release plates will work with it. It has grooves like the Arca-Swiss but the locking pin won't accept any of the 4 other types I have. In this form it is useless to me. It looks like it would be a good head if it had all the parts and was compatible. Very disappointed.

Pros
  • Heavy workload - 11lb safe payload for multiple gear options
Cons
