Negative Positive
Title: Great in principle, Poor in fact
Review: I agree completely with the other reviewer who notes that this is a very delicate head. Be warned. It is great for fine positioning of the camera. Great for studio work. BUT I travel with my gear, have to hike to remote locations, work in poor conditions (sand, dirt, wind) and the head has two problems -- very delicate, as mentioned; and prone to drift. I do a lot of timelapse work, and over time, the head can tend to move (along the tilt or pitch axis). Very slightly and quite smoothly, but still noticeably.The main issue is that this head cannot standup to abuse. Mine failed within three months -- I suspect after manhandling by airport personnel.Finally, the gearing mechanism is not -- as far as I can tell -- thoroughly sealed against the elements. If sand or salt (as in salt water) gets in, you're doomed.
Is the review positive or negative?
