Got it today. It tilts and pans smoothly and very easy to assemble. Using it with a 100-400mm and 5dmkiv. Two things : the GH does not sit perfectly on the tripod, it wobbles and when I tried to remove it from the tripod to check and fix, the base of the GH and the tripod are stuck. I can't remove it , I don't wan't to adjust the pan knob too much for leverage for I don't want to force new gear. Beware
