This tripod is a little heavy, but very stable if on the correct legs. I use it when in a stationary work area, as opposed
carting it around in the field.
This is probably my favorite tripod head due to its versatility and usability. It is excellent quality and supports a fairly heavy camera, is easily adjusted and the quick release plate allows the camera to be disconnected while moving to a different location and then reconnected easily once there. It is also fairly cost effective due to its availability and versatility.
