It has an all-metal pan and tilt head that uses a circular quick-release plate for a more intuitive way to attach your camera. Whether it's strength fit and finish or refinement of operation the Pro 700DX is a thoroughly professional photography tool. The rapid-type center column cannot rotate accidentally and the lever locks work securely with a minimum of movement. The Pro 700DX has foam-padded upper segments to ease carrying on your shoulder and working in the cold and its simple angled rubber leg tips give a firm footing.
