The head was with me on a Manfrotto MT294C3 its location of use, because of me otherwise used 3-way Neiger was traveling too unwieldy. The board is fully compatible with Manfrotto 200PL, but seems a bit less valent, because it is much lighter. I did not miss the non-existent panorama function, all settings were fast and the camera could be fixed stable even in unusual angles. (Nikon D610 with 105mm Micro as severe body / lens combo) Also on the monopod made the part of a good figure. The head can be easily disassembled completely so that you can remove any dirt particles slightly or regrease the part. The only complaint: the brass lock for the lever which holds the quick-release plate is very small and sharp-edged. A small rubber nub here would work wonders, both in operation, as well as the protection of eg textiles during transport. Still 5 stars, price / performance is totally OK.
