Comments about Benro HD3 3-Way Panhead:
Love this head. It's exactly what I wanted for my 400mm lens. Smooth motion and great quality. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars... I wish it would allow for the handles to swivel down for storage in the case with the tripod legs... I have to remove one of the handles to store it. Otherwise great tripod head.

Comments about Benro HD3 3-Way Panhead:
Having had previously frustrating experiences with both a panhead and a ballhead, I am very satisfied with the Benro 3-way panhead. First of all, I was very pleased with the ease with which my camera or lens ring attaches to the panhead. I like that the handles do not stick out too far, making it easy to quickly deposit the tripod onto the back seat of my car; and there are only 2 handles and a round knob to deal with, making it easy to adjust without taking my eyes off my subject. The Benro firmly holds my 100-400L and my 70-200L lenses.
