Purchased this to support a Canon XTI with 100-400 L series canon zoom, a weighty setup. Great unit. The head in sitting on Bogen-Manfrotto 3021BPRO Professional Tripod (purchased without Head (Black). Together they form a get combo. Yes, you can find lighter units, but heavy means more stability.

Smooth, solid and a nice quick connect mechanism. I am using for a video camera in a weatherproof case - lots of weight. Good deal.

I bought this to replace the crummy one on my Slick U-212 tripod. Best thing I've done in a long time.
Great combination!
