For macro work, when my D7500 with 100mm macro (about 3 lbs total) is pointed downwards, there is a bit of drift initially on my Alta BH-100 head that came with my tripod. Does this model do better with that sort of angle, and prevent the drift?
There are certainly better heads to use than this head. I would recommend the Sirui K30X ball head, click the link below to view;
