Calumet CK7061 Three-way Pan Tilt Head With Quick - Release Plate with a 1/4-20 mount And Built-in Spirit Level Is Ideal for Use With Any Digital SLR Camera

I used it for first time on Monday.I used it with a my Canon t3I and Sony handycam.Movement at each axis was fluid and responsive when the right amount of tension was applied.If you don't tighten it enough at vertical position, the weight of camera and lense pulls down.If too tight, then you can't move at all.You always trying to maintain a balance for quick moves or changes in angle.For the money, it is not a bad buy for controlling x,y, z axis. I would recommend it for beginners.

Great value on this excellent three-way pan tilt head! Very smooth action, works well for photo or video. I find the pan head easier to use than ball heads. I can be assured that the camera is level with the horizon, and the panning action is very smooth. I love that the tilt head is marked in degrees of tilt from 0-90 degrees. A terrific value for such a useful and high quality item.

I really like the head. It has nice adjustability and is smooth. The only thing is it came with a couple small chips on the paint and grease was seeping out of some of the moving points

works as it should, i had to some adaptions to fit in the screw. so just 4 stars.

It's has only one fail , when not tight all the way it wobbles ...

Mounts and locks well, panning or tilting is rocky but works locked down. Use for intended photo purposes, do not try to use as a fluid head for DSLR tracks.

I was pleased to see how nicely machined this was. Wow, I thought, there's really nothing like fine Italian workmanship...and then to my surprise I saw this gem was made in China. It's easily as well made as something from Manfrotto but the price is a bit easier to handle.

I use this head for Phase one 645 medium format camera with Mamiya AF zoom lenses , nice and smooth action , it tights strong and keeps the camera steady in any angle.

good quality, was what I expected
