I just received three of these. The quality is superb and the things are very customizable. Remember, Avenger is now owned by Manfrotto. You can stick any 5/8 pole, rod, whatever through the baby pin side. There are two threads on the baby pin side, which means you can mount a top on the other end too. You just need a set screw you can get at any hardware store. I mount two of these on top of each other using that technique.

I liked the price, but when I received it in the mail I was hesitant about the quality. Right away it bound up when tightening the head and it took some coaxing to get it ti work. As long as you don't abuse it too much, I guess it will last long enough to get your money's worth. Next time I will stick with the tried and true Matthews C-Stand products.

Comments about Avenger D200 2.5" Grip Head:
Pretty simple. Avenger added a rubber grip that won't last forever but seems pretty tough. Much more confortable to use and when it does wear out there's a normal metal handle underneath. Other than that it's a pretty standard quality grip head. Feels plenty solid.

Comments about Avenger D200 2.5" Grip Head:
The D200 Grip Head added much needed flexibility to my lighting stands. Up until I purchased the grip head, I used my 40 inch boom arm on my c-stand that worked, but was not super stable. Often times I would need to super tighten the arm to keep it from lowering on it's own because of the weight on the other end of it. Offsetting the arm with the D200 Grip made things much easier and does a great job of helping to balance and boom lights overhead without it falling down.
