 Seems flawless to me... May 27, 2008

I bought this head to use with my Sony HD Handycam and it seems flawless to me. The plate clamping screw does not interfere with the camera body because the thumb-screw wing can be very easily adjusted without tools. The action is fluid on every axis with absolutely no sticking or stuttering. The build is solid with not flimsy or substandard parts. I have 3 Manfrotto tripods and numerous heads. I would buy this product again.
 Nice tripod head for spotting scope May 15, 2008
J. Fisher (Glendale, CA United States)
Of course no product can be all things to all people. That said, this tripod head works perfectly with a spotting scope (as these are narrower than a camera) but I can see that the locking screw could interfere with mounting a wide camera. The quality of manufacture is evident. I love the screw down feature for the QR plate rather than the swiveling clip-- it takes a couple of seconds more when setting up, but you know that your equipment is very well secured. The smaller size and weight of this head is welcome when lugging your tripod and scope for any distance. I haven't had a chance to field test it yet, but will update this review once I have.
 Below Bogen's standards! Get the 701RC2 instead! February 1, 2007

I accidentally purchased this video head instead of the 701RC2. Big boo-boo! This video head is not built to the ordinary standards of Bogen. It is flimsy by comparison to the 701RC2, not as smooth and does not have an adjustable sliding base plate. Worse, the rapid connect plate is not clamped in with a lever as you would ordinarily expect but requires the screwing down of a clamp which takes longer. Adding insult to injury, the lever screw is blocked by your camera when it is on the quick release plate interfering with the securing of the video camera.
This is, to say the least, a poorly thought out video head and the ONLY benefit it offers over the MUCH superior 701RC2 is this it is slightly lighter, but achieves this by sacrificing build quality and important features.
Unless you have held and operating this video head and know it is precisely what you want do not risk purchasing it. Purchase instead the far superior 701RC2.
Super Light-Weight Video Head November 14, 2006
Silly Dad (Washington State)
I've used this video head for over a year. I got rid of the 3130 because it was just TOO HEAVY and I am thrilled with the performance and weight o the 700RC2 with my Panasonic DVX100a. I carry camera, tripod and accessories to remote locations and the weight savings makes me a happier person.
Good, but it could be better. October 13, 2005

The quick release lever was initially blocked by my camcorder. However the lever can be adjusted using an Allen ranch. I've had no problems with the lever after the adjustment. The tripod head feels solid and moves freely. It works quite well for my Panasonic AG-DVX100a (four pounds). However I would recommend the 3130 head instead. It supports more weight and has a side release that wouldn't be as easily blocked by larger camcorders.
