The handle can be solved with reasonable effort. When panning it is solved yet well damped. For more ease, you can loosen the locking screw. The adapter plate is square and can therefore in four positions (0/90/180/270 °) are used. In addition, the disk is (almost) infinite rotation with a smooth screening - set since one would have to handle the camera and turn it anti-locked head ... The pistol grip can in eight positions - this rotational function but no one who seriously gezugen for video pans into consideration will. All of these options together cause that you can adjust every possible position. For example it is possible to adjust the head so that it is aimed rather high - for example, if you want to photograph birds - then a slight downward tendency is still possible, or you can set on edge architecture. Every conceivable setting is feasible and the handle is always in a comfortable position. Thoughtful Super processed very solid and after I have the Manfrotto 808RC4 replaced by the Vanguard, even Stativtasche goes again! I use the head with the X-T1 and have the impression that he for system cameras - is well suited - even with heavy lenses.
