Keep in mind this tripod head is HUGE and fairly heavy, so it is not recommended for travel. Having said that I would say the rest are positives. I attached mine to my FALCAM tripod, and attached my a6700 to the NEEWER head. As stated in the description there are three axis in which you can rotate the head, normal 360 pan, -30°/+90° front tilt and -30°/+90° side tilt. This opens your shot to a wide array of angles. You can unlock each axis to move freely or you can lock it to use micro adjustments.This flexibility lets quickly setup a shot or lets you be more granular on your approach. A good application for this head is extreme shots meaning really zoomed in or also macro shots in which small movements can severely alter your shots. The micro adjustments take those issues away. Overall this is a great tripod head, one that can take your shots and your approach to the next level. It’s pricey but for more invested shooters it should be in your radar
This is a really good piece of kit. Never had any issues with the quality of Neewer products, where I have a lot from tripods, bags and studio equipment. The reason for a 1 start drop is that the tilt on any of the axis goes from 30° to 90°. This means if the tripod is slightly tilted away from the 90° diredction, you cannot tilt it further to get it truly 90°.
Having the fine adjustemnt is excellent, this is especially useful for macro and astro photography. I've also used this a lot for still life which saves constantly trying to move the tripod a fraction to compose the image.

This gear head tripod is absolutely brilliant! The build quality is fantastic, and everything feels really smooth and well made.
It comes with some great extras, including a centre column extension and a panoramic mount. What I love most is the quick-release clutch system, which lets you move the head freely into position before locking it back in place for precise adjustments.
