Leofoto VH-10S 2-Way Monopod Head | Arca Compatible

Good Monopod Tilting Head.

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and finish of this product. It does what I needed to do and it is really well machined. I only give it four stars because I think the friction mechanism, although it works well, is very basic and could be improved. It is based on two silicone washers. And once it is dialed in for a smooth tilting action, it holds the angle when level or when tilted up but when a long lens offsets the fulcrum point, the camera will just flop forward. If one adjusts for more friction, it will hold but then the tilting resistance becomes more difficult to operate smoothly. More than to criticize the product, which works as well as one might expect for something at this price point, I am hoping this feedback is an invitation to innovate it. It sure beats having something more elaborate and bulky like a gimbal on a monopod. I don’t need it to pan as the monopod pivots on its foot, and the tilting function works well enough once one becomes familiar it hits limitations. It feels strong, and secures the camera very well. I would buy it again in spite of the above feedback.

Great Monopod Tilt Head!

I tried a lot of different monopod heads & gimbals and I really didn't like many of them. The Leofoto head works great! Exactly what I was looking for. Small & not bulky, yet strong enough to hold my Nikon Z9 & Nikon 800mm Lens! Great value & well built! Highly recommended!
