Manfrotto 3 Way X Pro Quick Release 200pl Stativ

I bought this head to replace a Manfrotto MH804, and I'm happy with the decision. Three points: tilt adjustments in both directions are smooth, the tension controls make for secure settings, and I am reasonably at ease having a camera with long lens on this quick release mechanism. I do recommend the XPRO head. Edwin C.

This head was exactly what I need when my old head started showing wear and wasn't as stable as I need it to be (you would see shake but very slight). Popped it right onto the tripod legs and it has been a joy using this head.

This product delivers quality. The built-in levels are very helpful. Ideal for still shots.

I bought this pan-tilt head to fit on to my Manfrotto 190go carbon tripod and am so glad that I made this choice. It is easy to adjust and keeps the camera locked in. The two long handles are telescoping making it easier to fit into a bag. However, they do not fold down. The two dials are for adjusting the tension which work really great, and once they are adjusted, you dont need to touch them again. It is a little heavier and beefier than a ball head, but you will get no drift, as you would with some ball heads. The ball head that I do have is not sturdier enough to take on my Nikon D750 with a 28-300 lens, and no matter what I did, I could not get the head to sit still - very frustrating especially when do macro photography. It was a good decision on my part after looking at the many options out there.

Its as advertised. A good head that seems to be well constructed.
