Anyone use or have used a Manfrotto 400 Large Geared Head?

If so, can you give me your thoughts on it please?

TIA. Eddie

It works, seems to be able to handle a very large camera, but you're stuck with what struck me as a rather clumsy QR system. The QR system is plenty secure, don't get me wrong, just seemed like the product of odd design choices (my opinion only).

I use one on a studio pedestal. The QR system is "unique" but it all works well and handles my Sinar P2 camera with ease. YMMV

[Ed Bray]

thanks for your thoughts, I have decided to buy one.

Hi Ed,

It's a great head... as long as you're using it in the studio! It's
quite the beast!

Supported a Sinar X with extended bellows without any issues.

Cheers

I use it.
It's a great head if you accept its weight.
