Have gained my head because I have been given a tripod. He should nix cost and shine at night ;-) So the head has completely convinced me, very sturdy design, adapter 3/8 "to 1/4" inch, camera - base in die-cast no cheap plastic, holds an EOS600D with a Sigma 18-250 lens completely wobble-free. However, a star / point deduction for misplaced dragonfly, it is indeed expedient does not allow with mounted camera to make an adjustment. But at the price I see like get over it. From me, then buy recommendation with a clear conscience.
