Anyone use this head? Cons and pros? My main question is whether it is tight enough to prevent movement while at 90 degrees. I really like the macro sliding to it.

I have both the Giotto's MH-1000 and MH-1001 heads, and generally the heads are really a good bargain. They are well made and hold tightly. What they are not is precision made instruments, like my Arca Swiss B-1 head, that move super smoothly and lock exactly where you have framed.
Also, I would not get the unit linked to. I would get the unit without the quick release and convert to a popular QR system such as the Arca Swiss system.

| I've also heard really good feedback on the new (to the US at least)FLM Line. Great prices for what looks like precision made heads. |

Had the head. (without the QC plate) Didn't like it. I used it for a few days, put it up and later sold it on eBay. It locked tight, but was not very smooth.
