Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It is solid, with no wobbles or looseness. It feels like it is fluid-dampened, which is great.



Cons

The tiny mechanism and plastic knob are not up to the task. The knob to lock the pan function is plastic. Don’t waste money on cheap photo gear.

Quality


This product appears to be very well made.


Moves smoothly, and it moves slow enough where its easy to get precise and able to lock on firmly with my payload of 6 pounds


Pd tripod has no panning function that makes it impossible for wide landscape stitching shots for me.


On my previous model that lock adj was all the way in meaning the actual threaded part of the locking screw just completely wore down.

Price


It’s a 10th of the price of an outdoorsmans and worked surprisingly well.


Given the price i may just buy another to have on hand.


I looked at the price and thought what the heck, might as well try it.

Competitiveness


The neewer pan sys is about the same as other designs on amazon and ebay.


It doesn't look like the 1/4" screw can be replaced with a 3/8", so i will be looking for another brand that had the 3/8" connector.


I ended up buying this one after the last one i had of a different brand the lock for the pan sys stopped working.

    I only use this on a telescope lens to do panning shots when i am lazy to bring my other heavyduty tripod along to hike


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Not very solid and the lock mechanism has to be tightened very tight which is pretty rough on the fingers after a while

    I looked at the price and thought what the heck might as well try it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Slight weight due to all metal alloy construction but mainly flat compact


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Because of the weight of my camera and lens the pan lock slips
