"This is a fantastic camera head. I've owned one for 3 years and use it with a large MF film camera (Fuji GX-680III) with heavy glass.

They will help remove one frustration from your life and free your mind to do what it needs to be doing. An earlier reviewer says they drift. They do not …" Read Full Review »
