I wouldn't buy anything else!!!

Aug 4, 2010

I purchased this for my digital camera over 4 years ago and I'm now getting ready to use it on my new L.F. Walker 4X5 Field Camera. This thing is rock solid. When you tighten the knobs in any position, they stay locked with no slipping. It works just as good as the day I purchased it. I've used other light weight tripods and heads and they just don't stand up to the high winds and harsh conditions I encounter like this does. A little on the heavy side and a little awkward to carry, but the 229 Super Pro Head is the one I always choose even on longer hikes.

I like this better than the new QR release. I wish they still make heads with this design.

Nice update to a great design

I like the fact the plate now uses a rubber mating surface compared to the older versions that used cork. The cork was good at first but as it aged became worse at holding steady. It great that its now rubber keeps a great hold on the equipment.

An excellent head for large any format

Rock solid head with smooth controls throughout. I bought it for use with large format cameras but it works great in medium format and pro 35 mm DSLRs.

Rock Solid! An Awesome Head!

Jan 12, 2009

This head is rock solid and the best head I've used out of many over the years. It is heavy duty and silky smooth in all of it's functions. Match that with 3 levelers and you've got an awesome professional head. I've matched it up with the 055XPROB Tripod Legs and I'm happy as a clam!

Great all around head

I've shot pro video and stills for 30 years and this is the head I'm using on 90% of my work now. With the price of so called pro equipment the way it is, I would expect to pay double the amount for this quality. I mounted it on my old 3046 tripod thats been in the corner for 10 years and it is now my main tripod for my Nikon D300 and DX2.

Solid Stuff

Nov 20, 2008

A very nice head! A little sticky right now, but I'm sure that will clear up with extended use. Lots of levels to avoid uneven/unlevel shots. Degree markers are an added plus. Quick release plate is very sturdy and functions well! All-in-all, I am very pleased with this product!! It should last a long time! Just make sure not to get some wussy tripod legs... this thing is a beast! (I used the Benro A-428n6 legs which I guess is discontinued now...) Although, if you are a serious buyer, you should already know that...

Great Product

I'm a photo major in my final semester and this head (and the tripod I got with it) have been wonderful. The levels are really helpful and I love hex-plate heads because I can interchange them with my schools equipment.
