Negative Positive
Title: near perfect!
Review: I've been exceedingly pleased with this geared head. I shoot architecture professionally and these things are a must. This head is simply wonderful to use with either liveview (canon) or a tethered lcd monitor. I find I use it in perfect harmony with my tilt shift lenses...tweaking the head, then the lens and then the head again; it is precise and very stable. My only gripe, and it is a real one is that the darn thing cannot be set to look upward, even beyond likely a 30 degree angle without the lower knob hitting the base body. This has been VERY annoying on a number of jobs where non-paralax corrected shots were needed. I LOVE this head but I've had to bring an extra (non-geared) head along on shoots just incase I need to look up. This is clearly a design error. I've not tried the spendier version. Regardless, I would buy this again and again if needed - for conventional use it is terrific.
