  Notes on use
  : 
 
 
 
  
 
   

    Optimal for setups up to 20 kg; ideal for heavy cameras (e.g. Nikon Z9 with 100-400 mm). Careful balancing required at maximum load to avoid sagging. 
   
 
 
  
 
   

    Users praise the smooth movements and workmanship (e.g., "no judder, holds the Sony A7III stable at 100–400 mm").
   
 
 
  
 
   

    Regular cleaning of the ball and screws is recommended, especially after use in dust or moisture. 
   
 
 
  
 
   

    The spirit level is difficult to read in low light conditions; an external spirit level can be helpful.
