5.0 out of 5 stars Velbon PH-263 Magnesium Alloy Tripod Head, December 19, 2000

This is an absolutely beautiful piece of gear. A great head and a great value. It is small and ultra light. The nice part is that it adds 3.8 inches of height but has only a fraction of the weight of other heads, including the expensive but heavy Gitzo. This is the hands down winner for the money! If you need a light and solid head, this is it!!! Holds 12 lbs max, again more than other famous brands.

It is pretty good ball head and it is light. It max loads
up to 6 lbs so it is good for a 35 SLR and medium weight
lens like 70-180mm f4.5, 80-200mm probably ok. 300mm f2.8
probably not good.
