Love the pan head, works well with my optics.
The compact professional SLIK PBH-535AS ball head is a low-profile, lightweight ball head for amateur and professional photographers. The 535AS single lever QR lock makes mounting and dismounting the camera fast and easy.
This head also features a separate pan lock that locks the ball into place while allowing the head to rotate 360 degrees. Its tension knob controls the rate of the ball’s movement. The low-profile quick release plates may be left on the camera and won’t hinder vertical shooting.
The PBH-535AS ball head has a capacity 11.0 lbs. The head is capable of handling a full sized professional DSLR with standard lens. In addition to the standard easy grip ball lock lever the head has a tension adjustment knob to fine-tune the drag on the ball movement.
It also has a separate panoramic lock with degree markings around the base for stitching together for panoramic photos.

Lightweight but still sturdy. Great value for the money. Especially when it was on sale. Holds my spotting scope, binoculars, and rifle just fine.

Loose Ass Head - Poor Customer Service I purchased the Carbon Fiber PRO CF-633 + PBH-535AS Ball Head together a little over a month ago in preparation for an upcoming shoot this weekend in Colorado. My first purchase from Slik. Upon receiving the tripod & head, I noticed that the head was substantially looser than any other tripod I’ve worked with. Literally, nearly any minor adjustments to the pan / tilt will make the head start to unscrew itself from the body of the tripod. WTF?? Shortly after discovering this, I reached out via email to their support team in hopes of having some form of communication / troubleshooting, and maybe even an exchange. Maybe the head was just too loose, or perhaps I missed how to tighten the head? I was happy to just talk & work things out, was not demanding a refund at all, & I’m yet to hear from the company at all, and it will have been a month since I emailed them on 10/2. Now I’m heading to Colorado with a tripod that had one of the loosest heads I’ve ever seen. Hope I don’t lose it in the woods... for $250 I could likely find a better company with far more helpful customer service.

Store owner replied: Hi Mitchell, There was an obvious breakdown in our customer service communication and there is no excuse. We are sorry. I know Glenn from customer service spoke with you on the phone today and coordinated a return when you get back from your trip. We will make it right and get you a tripod and head you can trust. Thanks for giving us a 2nd chance to make you a life-long customer. Greg
works well I like the head. It holds my sony camera lenses without a problem. Does not work with my L-bracket which is a little disappointing but it does the job.
