ProsSolid product....could be considered by some as a bit heavy but for a full-sized Nikon SLR with battery back it more than does the job. I can survive the extra weight even at my age...early 60's. Low price for such a great product.
ConsProduct has degree settings and an index mark on the head would be helpful. Still, maybe I am overlooking something. Product only has an index card sized manual....again, maybe I am making too much of a problem out of nothing!

Review:Had minor problem with connection thread (1/4X 20 X 3/8 not having enough threads to hold camera securely (in my opinion)....found mounting pad was a bit too thick.
Product is distributed by Tiffen and when I called Tiffen, not only did I get to speak to a technician, he provided his name and phone extension for further contact. Tiffen replaced quick-release plate with wrong one and quickly corrected that problem. I can't say enough "good" about product and Tiffen's handling of problem.
I'm not easily impressed with service these days but Tiffen (if they handle all problems/questions as thoroughly)needs to pat themselves on the back!
