Decent but affordable - Sturdy but not titanium - A good choice for those who need to add tilt and pan to a slider, homemade arrow, dolly etc . - There are many choices and some are just cheap and poorly made, this one will not spontaneously catch fire within 24 hours of first use - Of course it's not a Manfrotto, Benro or Bogen and that's fine - It'll do the job well Task - no complaints, I use mine to mount a 70D and HF-G10 on a trolley - supports them well with no problems - one possibleโฆ
