Not For Large Lenses

While this monopod head can support the weight it does so without allowing the rig to have good balance. This is because the design puts all the weight on the top, and the lens will flop forward or backward even if it is centered. The tension knob needs a finer adjustment too because it's difficult to get a smooth action without having it too tight or too loose. You're constantly pulling down on or lifting up the weight of the rig to keep it on your subject. It is uncomfortable to hold your camera onto a subject waiting for that decisive moment of action. A better choice for 400 F2.8 sized lenses would be the PMG GT2 Tomahawk or a Wimberly MH-100

Hi Roger,

Thank you for leaving a review for our HM1 Tilt Head for Monopod. We appreciate your feedback and apologize that it did not meet your expectations for larger lenses. We will take your comments into consideration for future improvements to our product. You can also send us video or photos how it works with your set up to provide you with applicable options. In the meantime, we recommend checking out the PMG GT2 Tomahawk for better support for bigger lenses but using the right monopod head really depends on what you're shooting. Thank you again for your review.

Thank you,
Noel | PMG Customer Service

Works well -expensive for manual operation

I thought for the price, the tension knob would gear drive the tilt operation- but was not to be.

Great support for ultra large lenses

I purchased the HM1 tilt head for monopod along with the TR34M carbon fiber monopod to support a Sony 600mm F4 lens on a recent birding trip to Panama. I've struggled to hand hold this beast of a lens in the past. I'm 75 years old and still in pretty good shape but needed extra help. The tilt head and monopod combo worked great and I did not tire after several hours in the field. It took me some practice to maneuver when the monopod was fully extended or when I was in tight quarters (like in the back of a truck with others) but after some practice I could get the shots I wanted. After investigating various strapping and carrying options this was the best setup I've used and I highly receommend everyone with a large lens consider this option. You will not be disappointed.

Hi David, thank you so much for writing a review! We truly appreciate it. We're glad that the monopod and HM1 combo helped you get the shots you wanted. It really is a great setup, especially for action photography and using large lenses. Thank you for trusting our brand, and we're happy you love the products. Happy shooting!

Thank you,

Tilt Head

Lightweight, sturdy build, made in USA. Love the tilt function. I would’ve liked a bit of a swivel instead having to tur. Using entire monopod - otherwise great!

Top Quality

I am not unveiling something unknown, all the products from ProMediaGear are top quality products, you can touch and feel it.
