I don’t know why DPR describes this as a “heavy-weight” head for “weighty” equipment. It replaces the 410, which was always Manfrotto’s smallest, lightest geared head, and it holds no more than 9lbs. Also, the XPRO is clearly designed for weight savings, not tank-like construction, and for use on lighter tripods.
Yea! Finally, a geared head for hikers and walkers.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
