More than satisfied - Easily convert to ARCA.

I have gained this Getriebeneiger because I architecture, landscape and astrophotography am much in the area go.
Working with a ball head can one as sometimes drive you crazy.
In my mind, that's not necessarily a question of price. I have a head for just 50, - and 180, -.
Both of which really does not do much. A supposedly well locked motif slip every now and then get dressed.

Not so with this Neiger. Roughly aligned Using the quick adjustment, finely adjusted and everything fits.
At least with static subjects. For fast changing shooting situations the Panhead is naturally
not think. But you know in advance.

My copy was used to quickly come Amazon and everything works fine.
The head is not a lightweight, in combination with the 055XPRO3 are just 3.8kg already a decent chunk, but definitely contributes to the stability of the overall construction. Because really wobbles nothing more and the stand is rock solid.

This combination is of course not easy wearing just so around on blue mist with it. Even with the strap or pocket it will quickly uncomfortable without assistance. Even about you should be aware before.
Who wants to be a bit more mobile, you should rather choose a lightweight carbon fiber as a base. However, this combination is extremely top-heavy
why I would rather stay with the version made of aluminum.

Solely the huge "quick release plate" I was from the beginning an eyesore.
Especially since I have everything else ARCA equipped compatible.
I would never occur, permanently to screw this "huge ham" of plate under my camera or lens.
This not only looks totally modest, it is terribly inconvenient.

Therefore, here's a tip for users of ARCA system:

On a forum I read from a conversion kit for this board to ARCA standard. Of course, from the United States
and at a price of about 125, - dollars plus shipping, customs and import duties. The difference for me.
After further research, I then came across the following plate: [...]
(If the link is deleted from Amazon, simply by "Mengs DC-38" Search)

This plate has even a 1/4 "thread and can be mounted on the plate of the Panhead is quite simple.
So I can continue to use my small ARCA plates on the camera and the lenses without restriction.

Conclusion:

Who knows how to use this head, will certainly have a lot of fun with it.
The Quick Control fits very tightly, which will be evaluated from time to negative.
I see this rather positive, because the tooth is supposed to withstand a lot.
With reduced spring force could indeed play again arise, which is certainly worse.

I can recommend this head with a clear conscience on.
