Title: Weak Bushing on Head
Review: The tripod legs themselves seem very solidly constructed and the overall appearance is good. The design is unique and ingenius as far as the column and tilt setup for macro/closeup photography. Here's the design flaw though, the bushing that is on top of the head is not actually screwed onto the bolt. It slides up and down freely. The 9370 is rated at 22 pounds of support, so I tried to put an equivalent head on it. I screwed it on and then......gently.....snugged up the set screws and the bushing snapped off right at the base. This is not an easy repair. I wound up using a bushing for a Slik Monopod that I had to fix the issue. I have had two of these 9370 series because I liked the design, but have had issues with the heads. If Giottos would correct that problem, they'd have a real winner. I am not too comfortable with $5000 in camera equipment hanging off the head design with the current bushing set up though.
Is the review positive or negative?
