Excellent value, well made

Holds the weight of 8 kilo lens+ camera without creeping, is nearly perfectly plumb & centered - good enough for landscape, maybe macro. Only minor negatives: 1) Slumps slightly when tension knob is loosened 2) vertical rail terminates too soon within radius of swing barrel 3) vertical rail doesn't take arca 4) hand painted index mark on tripod barrel looks homebrew 5) The compass rose on the arm tension knob is goofy But for what I paid, it's more than sufficient, & a good amateur's first gimbal.
