      Very Useful for Panoramas

        Comments about FEISOL PB-70 Panning Base:

        I bought this in order to get degree markings to make taking large panoramas easier and it absolutely does the job. It might not have the detent rings but it does the job for a tenth of the price of other panorama setups. The 3/8th screw allows you to attach your own ballhead on top of it which makes adapting it to your current tripod setup very easy.

                  I purchased the PB-70 to use on my Manfrotto 055 XPRO tripod with a Manfrotto 561BHDV video head that came with my monopod. I now have the ability to swap and change my video head from monopod to tripod for less .It has exceptional build quality and is incredibly smooth with a large easy to use locking knob.

                      Comments about FEISOL PB-70 Panning Base:

                      I have one of the most complicated collection of heads for use with my Manfrotto tripod(s). A leveling base, a panning head, and a Custom Bracket swiveling system. All of those things and I couldn't get this monstrosity of unit to simply PAN! Of course, the panning systems available to me were all 'panoramic' specialty heads with a price tag right in line with 'specialty' products.

                      After some aggressive searching I found this great little number. I had very little expectations based on the price, but guess what?! It does what it says! Trust me, I didn't want to like this product - I'm a label lover and the thought that my other 'label' manufacturers couldn't come up with something this practical is still beyond me! Nice work FEISOL.
