 Not good for use with a camcorder December 16, 2008
I purchased this item especially for use with a camcorder. As soon as I opened the package, I knew I was going to be unhappy. The controls for the head (both the tilt and the plate release) are directly where you would need to place your hands to operate the camcorder's zoom as well as hold onto the cammie itself. I still gave it a trial run, and after less than 5 minutes, it became too uncomfortable to continue using.
This item is more than likely perfect for use with a camera, but since that was not my intended use, I just can't justify giving it a high rating.
 Quick release dangerous November 10, 2008
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
I read a review by a reader like yourself who said the relase was something that could pop open, and it did to him and his camera was smashed on the street. figured this guy might be a moron considering the other reviews, well I guess I am a moron also becuase it also happened to me, $4500 lesson. Dont settle for quick release, that just begs for a problem....my strap caught the turn lever and off went the camera...don't know what was worse, loosing the camera or the shoot that day....either way I will never ever buy a quick release anything ever again....this product gets a 1, only becuase this survey wont allow it to be left at 0.
 Very nice September 22, 2008
Works great. The quick release is well designed to allow a quick release, without worrying about it falling off if you hit something (like some other heads) since it requires two actions instead of one. Very nice and stable.
Works well with both of my monopods... July 16, 2008
Bought mine a long time ago with a monopod. It's been very good and I still use it, especially since I bought a Pentax K10D (internal shake reduction) and a new monopod with quick-extend/retract action.
Excellent Head for the money June 15, 2008
Great build quality and functionality. The Quick release system is excellent...the two step release function ensures that there is no way a camera/lens will accidentally come loose.
Absolutely recommended.
