Despite a late delivery on the timing indicated, (4 days), I am generally satisfied. The mechanics are precise and smoothly. The strength of the head for its use is far above what I expect for the price. Some errors as to the shelf compatibility with Arca-swiss standard and the block supporting the filletage for coupling to the tripod is ... surprising. It is brass. Material not suitable for a high-stress use. That said, if we do not unscrewed too often the head (3/8 instead of 1/4) then consider this as a minor criticism. I am not sure that I paid double the assurance of having better. I refer to some famous Italian brand. If you need a middle class of this type of ball and finance side you should be looking at, do not hesitate. You lose nothing. Do not be ashamed of the "made in China". On the contrary!
