    Customers like the sturdiness of the tripod head. They say it is solidly made with good materials, and it easily handles the weight of a Canon 500 f/4 with 2x teleconverter. The plate seems thicker and does not require a screw driver to tighten, and is a very well designed and constructed gear head.

    Customers are satisfied with the performance of the camera support. They mention that it works well for wide-angle astrophotography, and the gear head works better than a ball mount.

It's also well-suited for landscape setups, and has fine knobs for quick or small adjustments.

    Customers are mixed about the adjustability of the camera support. Some mention that the fine adjustments are really good, smooth, and easy to adjust than the 410. However, others say that it's very slow to adjust on the fly, annoying to turn, and difficult to turn the large-adjustment knobs.

    Customers are dissatisfied with the fit of the camera support. They mention that the knobs are too tight and the mechanism is very tight. The pan (azimuth) knob is large and it knocks against the plate.

    "...Knobs also require a fare amount of turning to use them. They seem tight (I loosened the adjustment lock as well)." Read more

    "...The bottom of this is too small for those set screws to work as designed...." Read more

    "...However, it's slow to compose, heavy, big, and clunky. I love it, but I hate it. However, I've used it every day since I got it...." Read more

    "The quick-release? Knobs were too tight and hurt my fingers to turn; call me a wimp, but it's true." Read more

    9 customers mention0 positive9 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the stiffness of the camera support. They mention that the gears are pretty stiff and have not loosened up over time. Some say that the support is extremely stiff and has a delayed float.

    "Manfrotto Junior extremely stiff, so fine adjustments are hit-or-miss. Benro much smoother adjusting." Read more

    "...It's pretty stiff but, that's easier to deal with than loose and wobbly...." Read more

    "...The gearing on these is pretty stiff and has not loosened up over time. The large knobs you twist to make big adjustments are uncomfortable to grasp...." Read more

    "...you may find the first time that you use this feature it is a little stiff and feels awkward, but that quickly disappears on further use...." Read more

    It is good just need a little bit more smooth
    5 Stars
    It is good just need a little bit more smooth
    Initially I thought to return it because I was not able to work out with this but then I gave it few more shots and look at from different angle on how to use this to capture Astro photographs. See attached photographs, this I took with a Sony A7R4a mounted on this along with the Sigma 60-600mm and in APS-C mode that resulted closeup. I took 300 light frame, 50 dark, 30 flat and 50 bais frames. During the time I had to keep on switching the angle by a few degree and those knob helped for sure but just needed a little bit of smoothness around the movement. Overall it is a good product and like it. just to clarify this a tripod mount and not really an sky tracker.

    heb deze besteld en vond het ene grote teleurstelling als ik het wilde monteren .. namelijk de schroefdraad om hem te bevestigen op het statief was beschadigd .... kon hem niet meer terugsturen daar ik eerst nog van mijn ander statiefkop gebruik gemaakt heb maar die het nu begeven heeft .... en is meer dan een maand geleden ... tsja . zeker niet tevreden ... ook al is het van Benro ...
