Precise well made head

Great head for precise alignments.  The quick releases on each axis are nice for fast movements.  Don't expect to quickly align shots with this.  This is obviously better for landscapes and product style shooting than anything where your subjects move at all.  There is a slight delay in the gears when turning the knobs, but nothing horrible.  It's very well built and feels like it will last a long time.  The camera quick release plates are well designed to prevent the camera coming off accidentally.  When you pull the release, you have to also push in a safety to get it to fully disengage.

Awesome tool. The fact that the head is on a semi rigid shaft is a real advantage for shaping it to get into a tight spot where you hand won't fit. It'll hold the position. However, I have to say that sometimes it's a disadvantage because it can't bend into a very tight radius. Unfortunately, it can't do both. Nevertheless, it's a fine tool.

I purchased this Swarovski tripod head with some reservation simply because of the price. Turns out it is worth every dollar spent.

I use the head with a long and heavy Leica APO-Televid 77 spotting scope. The Optik DH 101 comes with a quick release plate that screwed to the base of my scope and the entire assembly snapped into the head base plate easily and firmly. The overall build feels very solid. The designers of the DH 101 claim to have birders in mind and I have to agree. My favorite feature of this head is the independent horizontal and vertical lock position. One can simply tighten the horizontal or vertical tension knobs or for a more permanent setting quickly turn one or the other or both into a lock position. When sharing the scope with a group of birders this comes in handy. The overall tension for the horizontal and vertical adjustments can be individually tensioned to suite your particular needs with a standard allen wrench. I found the factory settings to work perfectly with my scope. I was watching a small group of Bobolinks moving to and fro in a field at about 200-300 yards. It was easy to pan the head following their movements. One last positive comment. To remove the scope from the tripod head simply grab the slide release lever between your thumb and index finger and slide your thumb to the outside while gently lifting the scope. The scope lifts off leaving the base plate in a ready position to receive the scope next time. Don't hesitate to give this tripod head a try.

Great head and well strung.  I purchased 2 and my son is really happy with both.  I would buy another of the same in the future.

This is an incredibly well made hat.  It arrived quickly and was shipped in a box to prevent it being damaged.  The stitching on the front is excellent and looks good even at close inspection.  The Velcro adjustment on the back allows the hat to fit different sized heads easily.
As others have stated, its not the plastic construction hat, but actual cotton fabric.  The color is a soft shade of green, which is nice.  It isn't the darker green of the stuff we wore in Nam, but it looks good.  I highly recommend the hat.

Bought this tilt head for a Manfrotto monopod. Like the monopod, it is solidly made and very functional. The tightening mechanism holds even a large DSLR and a 70-300mm lens. This will last a long time.

Great quality, uniform coating and no defective heads. The heads are resistant to stripping and haven't had any heads shear off.

I'm very pleased with the pistol Grip head. It's very solidly built, and about half the price of a comparable Manfrotto pistol grip. Great buy!

I must say that I am very pleased with this Ballhead. It is pretty solid and has a good weight to it. I can put my 5D Mark II with a 70-200 Canon EF  f/2.8L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens and it stays where I set it to. The head movement is smooth and secure with it's twist to tighten head. I have to knock off 1 star because of the packaging, It came in a Zip-lock back inside a flimsy box with no instructions or documentation of any sort.

I love the smooth retraction of the head! Would love it if you could put the water handle on either the left or right side.

Works perfectly. The head is a little stiff though. I had to push it against something in order to get the correct rotation.
