Title: Below Bogen's standards! Get the 701RC2 instead!
Review: I accidentally purchased this video head instead of the 701RC2. Big boo-boo! This video head is not built to the ordinary standards of Bogen. It is flimsy by comparison to the 701RC2, not as smooth and does not have an adjustable sliding base plate. Worse, the rapid connect plate is not clamped in with a lever as you would ordinarily expect but requires the screwing down of a clamp which takes longer. Adding insult to injury, the lever screw is blocked by your camera when it is on the quick release plate interfering with the securing of the video camera.This is, to say the least, a poorly thought out video head and the ONLY benefit it offers over the MUCH superior 701RC2 is this it is slightly lighter, but achieves this by sacrificing build quality and important features.Unless you have held and operating this video head and know it is precisely what you want do not risk purchasing it. Purchase instead the far superior 701RC2.
