from Canberra, Australia Summary: I originally bought this head for a 144 tripod, and it worked well, but it is better matched to the 075, which it now accompanies.
This is a tall, strong head and I have found it able to copy with everything up to view cameras comfortably.
The bubble levels are very useful for my subjects where alignment is critical.
I like the QR system as it involves a secondary wheel to tighten the plate onto the camera. It means that you don't have to screw a single fitting hard into the camera, with the potential for damagfe to the body or (in some cases) ineffectiveness through a short camera tripod screw fitting (I have a couple of cameras like this).
It's all a bit big and industrial, but perfect for its intended use, and it's not overly expensive. Strengths: Strength, steadiness, bubble levels, QR system, adjustment range. Weaknesses: Bulky handles, needs a large-ish tripod to realise its potential. Similar Products Used: Other Manfrotto and Velbon heads Customer Service: None required.
