There were so many moments I wanted to give it a 5 The design of the product is not good enough for a star rating. I was really pleased with the finish and craftsmanship of this tripod head, and it fits perfectly in my tripod head. One problem is that the pawl at the bottom of the lens intended to serve as a safety against it sliding off the foot is incorrectly sized, so it does not fit into the pocket on the bottom. You will not hear a click if you do not hear one. If you slide the foot into its final position, then the foot will not be While you might be able to (over) compensate by really tightening the clamping screw, if that should ever quietly vibrate loose over time then the lens is at risk of falling off. I hate it!
I debated whether to return this camera, but the amount of time I spent putting it off combined with other pressing circumstances at home led me to take a Dremel tool to the pawl so that I could cut it back so it can As shown in the photo, this is visible in the highlighted area. A slight gap exists between the latch face and the area to the right. I am ashamed to say that I accidentally cut some of the latch face on the left side of the latch as well, but that was not I messed up. "Cough*" (*cough*) I touched up the stray tool marks with a Sharpie to minimize them, but luckily all this stuff is hidden after the foot is attached. After making this simple modification, the foot now works like a charm and I look forward to using it for years to come.
A lens foot cannot be tightly fixed to the lens in such a way that it does not wobble. This means that you have to take great care to not move the subject during an exposure, which is really the whole point.
Right click is functional, but it does not lock. You have to crimp the latch with a screw in order for it to lock. Although it is too cheap to return, it may have been scard to use it on a 3K lense. We may invest in a different one and use this one just as an oh crapno for when we get the.
