BRYCE CANYON Report post Posted October 13, 2007 The Jim White head is the only way to go. I have an Outdoorsmans pistol grip head and I used to think it was nice until I got the Jim White head. The Jim White is all I use, it is very nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COOSEFAN Report post Posted October 13, 2007 You will never regret buying the Jim White head! It is durable, simple, light and smooth! I traded my last JW head ( w/ tripod and glass ) for a second coues tag in MX and to try somethin' new I bought the new pan head made by Outdoorsmans. It's more expensive, feels a little lighter, not really smoother, but has extra knobs, one is made out of plastic and it will break, and two other knobs that get bent very easily and will! I know the Outdoorsmans will fix these problems free of charge, but I don't like the possibility of something breaking while in the feild! Jim White's head won't break. BUT you definitely need to always tighten the handle and side knob tightly before strapping it to your pack and going for a walk! They do come loose and I've seen parts fall off, but that will never happen if you religiously tighten everything before you put it away. Buy it! You'll love it!

Hunterdan Report post Posted October 15, 2007 As coosefan said you will never regret buying the Jim White Tripod head. I bought one right after he started making them and love it. They are made very tough and are as smooth as a liquid head when operating which is important for a tripod head. I own several of the items Jim White makes and everything is of the best quality and had a lot of thought put into it for the hunter when being made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
