"This has been a great tripod head for my use. Easily supports the vortex Razor 65mm I use. It’s a bit on the heavy side to pack around but perfect for an applications closer to a vehicle."
"Very smooth. Exactly what I was looking for"
"The new version is far better than the previous. The big lever is much stronger and easier to flip when your hands are frozen with gloves kn and snow and ice is jamming it up. It’s a lot faster to use when you’re in a hurry to put the spotter on an animal"
"For the price this head cannot be beat! It has all the features that you can ever need. It’s very well built and functions like a high priced pan head."
"I have an older version of the VA-5 head and it’s very well built just on the heavier side, as is this one. Yes with more weight usually comes for stability but I do think you can get a head just as solid that weighs less. My biggest complaint with this head is the clamp. With it being softer metal is has been chewing the clamp and makes a loud squeaking noise. I will be getting a different head and moving this one to the pickup window. It is a great starter head though otherwise and would still recommend, especially for the price."
"Light enough to pack in but heavy duty enough for a BTX 115. I run a 115, 95, and 85 BTX and ATX on this head and have zero complaints. The spring loaded latch is awesome."
"smooth and easy operation. Great tripod head"
"VA-5. Have 3 of these. Love them"
"Attached easily to existing spotter base and is much smoother than my old ball head."
"Great for a larger scope."
