I have the video head 700RC2 bought me for my Canon SLR, not each time having to laboriously adjust several mechanisms for changing the image section, as necessary, for example in a ball head or 2-way pan head. Here I present depending on the camera and lens, a friction needed, so pan shots are possible but otherwise the image detail is maintained. This works really great and without jerking or shaking slightly. Find the video head strong enough to hold even larger lenses to be able (at least tested with 70-200 f4 + clamp), there also disturbs not along sedentary and non-rotatable quick release plate. The sitting for bomb-proof thanks to separately anzuziehendem lever and does not allow any game, slipping etc. To use a good piece comes inter alia on a Cullmann Nanomax 200T, mainly for trips or short trips. The whole provides a very stable connection - Caution: Adapter 1/4 "to 3/8" is required, however. I have the 700RC2 after unpacking directly mounted on the tripod, and even on a glass table with ceiling you can adjust the binding as precisely that: 1. the camera and lens is held in position 2. pans can be carried out smoothly and soft, 3. that the stand will not be dragged on the ground. Am very pleasantly surprised by the head and currently know of no application where he would come to me inopportune. Will use it for for everyday use and am looking forward to take on the road. Especially at the telephoto end, I found the settings concerning display always annoying with the ball head. Now I can almost see through the camera and adjust precisely with one hand, and indeed hold without anything or having to tighten.
That reminds me anything negative noticed again summarized the positive me which were noted points here:
+ Really convincing and heavy duty + Long arm for precise selection d. Bildauschnitts or soft panning + Not too small and not too big for SLR + Secure attachment of the removable disk + Adjustment of friction depending on the camera model, etc. + 360 ° horizontal and 180 ° vertical movement
Would definitely recommend the 700RC2 or even buy back if it is lost time. He can break, which I do not go out time.
