"Incredibly smooth head when glassing. Really light weight and has been ideal for backcountry hunting. The design is made smart especially being able to take the handle off and move it down in order to tuck it away when storing it"
"Got this head to save some weight over my VA-5. This is a great head for big binos and smaller spotters. The independent pan and tilt adjustments are great for dialing in your tension. Highly recommend this tripod head."
"Great overall value, solid design, and smooth action. It's not the absolute lightest weight head, but the value is hard to beat - I'm using it on my 2nd tripod setup and really like it."
"Just like all Aziak gear I've purchased so far, this pan head is excellent and at a very fair price point. It has smooth operation, is lightweight, and functions very well. Paired with the Backcountry Lite tripod, this is my ideal backcountry glassing setup."
"Love the size and the weight. Great design. It’s just not quite as fluid as others I have used."
"This pan head is very smooth and easy to use. I paired it with the Aziak backcountry lite tripod. The total weight being just over a pound. This pan head handles a Swarovski ats 65mm spotting scope very well."
"For a small, light weight pan head, this thing is fantastic! Very smooth and compact. I recommend."
"Excellent addition to the Aziak backcountry tripod. Pan head Does exceptionally well with my 85mm spotter and 15x binoculars. Simplicity, affordability, and quality in a lightweight glassing application."
"Very nice and smooth to use! I am anxious to get it in the backcountry soon. . ."
