The SLIK SH-707E is sturdy and made entirely of metal. It has a multi-action pan head with quick-release plate. The simple one-arm lock-release system controls the camera movements. The one-handle operation also has a control for pan and tilt movements. This type of head is perfect for tracking moving objects with a spotting scope or binoculars. It also uses a quick and easy to use quick release plate to securely attach a camera or spotting scope to the tripod. The quick release mount rotates 360 degrees and locks in any direction.
