I can only agree with the positive reviews my predecessors. The only thing that bothered me the was pretty extreme wiggle the plate which is mounted on the ball head. With the intention to eliminate this problem, I turned a little harder (too tight) on this and then promptly had the whole disk in hand. So there was nothing else left but to dismantle the head (a screw loose), to replace the obviously short screw through a number longer and I already had a complete shake-free stand in less than 5 minutes. Nevertheless, only three stars from me because it is completely incomprehensible to me how to so can save one place and thus an otherwise very good product diminishes greatly in value.
