[QUOTE="Fred Kingston_RIP, post: 440230, member: 10742"] Yes, I didn't realize the issues with your hands... but just for info... that head, rather than use the knobs to lock-down the head hard by twisting the knobs to full stops, (which you certainly can do)... it uses friction knobs... IOW... you adjust the friction knobs... and you don't twist them to a hard lock-down... but the friction adjustments allow the head to move, subject to the amount of friction... IOW, it adjusts to where the head is very stiff, but rather than unlock the knobs, the head can be moved by grasping the camera and moving it thru the friction resistance... Once setup, (the knobs have numerical markers) you can move the head, with both hands without having to loosen the knobs... [/QUOTE]
