Pros: | Sturdy - well made - low cost - great function | Cons: | No level. | | I bought this after my Wimberley WH-200 got stolen.
It has basically the same specifications as the Wimberley WH-200 and functions just as well, but costs less than half. All controls and operations are silky smooth. Position locking/unlocking is quick and positive and requires little force. It's as stable as a a rock and can easily handle my Pentax FA* 600 F4 with a K3 body and D-BG5 grip with extra battery - no issue. The feel of the finish is nice and easy to get a grip on.
It does not come with a bubble level, but they are chump change and stick right on. Just a note, the Wimberley did not have a level either.
I won't say it's better than the Wimberley, but it is not any less either. Great value for the money.
