If precision is required, only this head!
For precise adjustment, this is the best I have had so far. I only use it for architectural shots
Precise tripod head
Pro
- Precise camera positioning
- Great for landscape photography
Contra
- Bulky
- Heavy
- No protecting case or bag provide
- Expensive for it does
Good but not perfect
Actually a good to very good gear tilt, if he would not still run a little after. Will mean: If I want to photograph eg. the moon and a combo with a Gweicht of about 4 kg. on the gearhead steeply into the sky, he can not hold the selected end position and still runs briefly after, until he then comes to rest. Would be perfect if it would stay still. On lighter combos, on the other hand, I would give this gearhead full marks, because there this lagging is no longer present. I am now not sure whether I should return the Benro GD-3WH or not.
Pro
- good workmanship
- easily adjustable
- clear scaling
- fine adjustment by means of rotary knobs
- Gorb adjustment with grid position
Contra
- Runs for a short time
Fits for me as a hobby photographer
Something of the best I have ever bought. The gear head is extremely stable and can be adjusted very precisely. The Peak Design plates also fit on it. The quick adjustment is very smooth.
Pro
- Cleanly processed
- Stable
- Looks beautiful ^^
- Angle display
Contra
- I needed an adapter plate
- Vertical tilt angle not so extensive
- A little heavy
recommendable
For rotation around the vertical axis, a spacer must be used on tripods with a mounting plate (Feisol CT-3442 Rapid or similar) in order to be able to rotate the geared panhead freely.
Pro
- good load
- Arca Swiss compatible
- free of play
Contra
- somewhat "low built". Panorama knob touches tripod (see comment)
Top quality - as always with Benro!
Contra
- Nothing
