A very simple design but nevertheless stable mounting. Horizontal and vertical axes are infinitely adjustable resistance. Ideal for wildlife photography or any type of racing where the camera is also pivoted ... car, horses, dogs. etc I suppose that's manufactured the steel holder, as it brings a lot of weight. Alternatively, would aluminum. A quick-release plate is incidentally included. In no case the camera mount, as it is in the product image. The bracket for the camera recording using the clutch getting down. High quality workmanship and finish. Absolute buy recommendation.
