Good tilt head with bad glue!

After more than 9 months using this tilt head I want to get rid of my experiences now.

The tilt head is used in conjunction with a Einbeincarbonstativ and has given me until about a week getting good services.

What has happened about a week ago?

I had bought a new lens (400mm 5,6L). Because this lens is now slightly heavier than normal, it must be attached for the purpose of weight distribution on a supplied bracket on the tripod head.

When I then used to attach the camera happens to be instead of the lens Schell Enge wind the camera thread and had thus also shot some portrait photos, I wondered not bad when I saw that the rubber had yielded.

What was the reason? Most likely, the focus of the camera was so badly distributed that the rubber of the tilt head has nachgegebgen by the constant load vertically.

What I am now but ask: Can so happen ???

And because I do not know it exactly, I will try to reclaim the tilt head in any case.

To all who play with the idea to this tilt to buy should be said:

It is of limited use. But until my 70-200 4.0 L IS he was used without problems.

So remember to screw not too heavy lenses on him.

Otherwise, I can only say that he has done to me until a week ago very good service and always gives an impression of high quality.

The adjustment was incidentally also easy to handle.

All the more disappointed I am today that the quality then again fails at something as simple as the adhesive.

Finally, I can only recommend this product limited and wish everyone that the adhesive holds at least under normal use.

Greeting

Chris
