INNOREL ZH7 Z Flex Tilt Tripod Head Aluminum Alloy Flexible Multiple Angles Panoramic Folding Z Type Head with Adjustment Knob for DSLR Camera Camcorder Slider Rail Load 11.0lb/5kg

Works as advertised

Very solid, aluminum construction, with silky, fluidic smooth movement in every plane. When you lock it, it locks tight...all you can really ask for.

Excellent & Reliable !! I am very impressed.

Item is used in conjunction with a macro rack to allow me to focus on the 4x5 ground glass of a Speed Graphic. I can produce amazing photos with this method

As with many things on Amazon, now that the return window passes the device fails. The poor quality screws used to loosen or tighten the platforms strip out or break off making the thing unusable. I was using it for mounting a polar aligned camera for astrophotography. Camera was at best three pounds.

I have always wanted one of these "Z" type of heads and this one is everything I want it to be! Very well made and works flawlessly. One thing that really impressed me is that it comes with a removable threaded insert (see picture) that allows it to be installed on a regular 1/4" screw mount or the larger threaded mount that my Bogen tripod has. It has a couple bubble levels on it so that I always can get true level even if my tripod is not level. The little tightening knobs work well and they are able to be moved out of the way by pulling them away from the head and twisted to one side or another once it is tightened down, they have springs inside them so they snap back into place once you move them out of the way. Very easy to use and works extremely smoothly when moving the platforms or the base for getting panoramic side to side shots. when its all collapsed down, it has a very small profile to it and takes up hardly any space. This head allows me to get my camera into just about any position I can think of and the locks hold it in place securely. I am in love with this head, and it will probably be the only tripod head I will ever use now.

Holds all of my cameras firmly, even my superzoom full size Sony's. I dont have a dslr to test with but it feels plenty sturdy for that to me. The built in bubble level is handy, but mostly I like the range of motion and how stable it is.
