In addition, in order to make large framing adjustments, the locking system can weighs only 1.65 lbs., but can support a payload of up to 8.8 lbs. Its adaptor body-a strong, rigid techno polymer - makes this head the lightest and most precise ever created by Manfrotto. The xpro geared head features the most common photographic plate in the world so there's no need to use different plates when switching to other Manfrotto supports.

This is a great product if you are in need of a geared tripod head that offers quick but also accurate small adjustments at a fair price. The trigger release makes it easy and quick to get big adjustments close to like you are using a ball head but with predictable results and fine adjustments good enough for 95%+ professional detailed tripod composing. I've been using a variety of tripod heads of many varieties since 2001. QR plate is nice as well.

This is one in a reasonably priced line of Manfrotto geared heads. I own and use the all-metal 405 Junior version that is heavier than this plastic model. The 405 is perfect for heavier camera/lens combos. The weight capacity for this one is about half that of the 405, making it perfect for precise macro and focus-stack applications. Its gears move MUCH more readily than those of the 405 and is, therefore, a positive pleasure to use, even in Winter out-of-doors. It holds my Canon 7DII or Sony a7R paired with the Canon 100mm f2.8 L or Tamron 180mm Macro lenses securely, allowing precise, secure, nimble adjustments for those ever so critical compositional moves. The only negative is the Manfrotto QR clamp -- a design I dislike. For $100 or so extra, I replace it with an industry standard Arca-Swiss clamp made by Hejnar to give my geared heads a professional adjustment flourish compatible with all my lenses.

I have a 69.3% waining gibbous to shoot tonight. I grabbed my 400mm Nikon f/2.8 and mounted it to the Manfrotto MHXPRO-3WG Geared 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head.Ain't happening' folks. While this pan head can handle all my medium primes and zooms, the bigger primes are just too much. I had it mounted on the Manfrotto MT055CXPRO4 055 Carbon Fiber 4-Section Tripod, which is more than strong enough for the larger primes. The head wobbled and made me nearly wet myself when I saw the camera and lens start to drop backwards on the tripod rapidly. I got it but damn... getting too old for this. To be fair, the pan head is only rated for 8.8 pounds, but I've had tripod heads rated for similar weights and do just fine with my bigger lenses.So, when the manufacturer says 8.8 ponds, 15 ponds is waaayyyyyyyy too much. Good call, Manfrotto!It's a great tripod head for my (3lb) 4x5 as well, but not strong enough for a D850 and the large prime. I grabbed my old Bogen tripod and the video head that I've had since 1992 and used it. Overall, I give it a solid 4 and will continue to use it as my primary head for everything but the big lenses.

Use the head primarily for real estate and exterior architecture photography. Pinpoint precision! I also found the head to be easy to use for portrait photography!

The head has slight movement (shake/vibration) and is not solid, similar to other Manfrotto 3 way heads. I expected this head to be solid, however there is a little movement with the positioning gears. The 360 geared adjustment knob makes a creaking sound when turning clock wise. The gears are smooth except for that creaking on the bottom 360 degree gear. Makes this head seem rather cheap. When pressing the adjustment knob in to position the head, it will pop back in place jerking the camera which is VERY annoying, I guess this is due to the visible wire spring? I requested to return this product, however I may change my mind - it may take some getting used to. The creaking adjustment knob though may be the deciding factor, along with the shake/vibration, and adjustment "pop back" issues. This head is plastic also, it is not metal/or aluminum/alloy, not sure about the longevity of this head.

This is an outstanding tripod head. It can be quickly adjusted by squeezing the adjustment handles, then finely adjusted using the geared levers. The head is quickly installed with a screwdriver. The head has built in bubble levels and visual indicators showing angles off the vertical, horizontal, and angle of rotation. I use it for landscape photography and photographng two dimensional artwork on an easel.
