Great travel tripod head

By David
Rated 4 out of 5

Great alternative to a full fluid video head as much lighter for travel or just convenience. Bubble level is small but once set, movement limited to pan and tilt; much better than trying to use a small travel ball head to video. Two issues for me. I'm invested in Peak Design plates and they are too small for the two-way plate clamp; see photos for solution to add contrived Arca Swiss plate holder which works well for smaller camera/lens combos. Also, with 600mm f4 lens and Z9 camera (has Arca Swiss plate that fits well), I could not tighten outer ball enough to keep it from slipping if too aggressive on tilting then requiring a rebalance to continue but can avoid if gentle.

Best tripod head that I have ever used

I have used and still own many tripod and monopod heads. One of my favorites is a Wimberley WH-200 gimbal. However, I doubt I will use it again after buying this FlexShooter Pro. Please note that I did have to make an adjustment to the head to get it to work properly. The adjustment knob for the large ball would not make that ball rotation tight enough because the knob would hit the ball housing. The knob is designed to pull out away from the head and rotate to a new starting position (it is spring loaded). Once I made that adjustment, the tension on the large leveling ball was perfect for my heaviest lens and camera body. There are many tip videos on the Internet that show how to use the head.
