I ordered remaining fairly cautious on the Asian manufacturing product. Well, it blew me away: - Solid construction, - There is no gadget at all and perfectly performs its function, - Movements actually very fluid (with 4 kg of camera equipment, the horizontal rotation continues from itself!), - Two quick release plates (there, it feels a little Chinese product, cork seems a bit light)
Only flat, friction is a little hard (but very fluid, without sticking) even to the least-tightening. But the product is brand new, I hope he will "do" a bit and become softer.
Anyway, pleasantly surprised by the technical quality, especially for the price!
