    It's a good head and I think perfectly reasonable for the price. You aren't getting as good value as a brand like Smallrig or even Benro but you are getting much better value than the full-on brands like Sachtler which are owned by the same company anyway. Compared to the more common 504 series the 608 is noticably nicer, particularly with the drop-in QR plate system. I honestly have to say that the CBS is not better nor worse than what is in something like the 504X. You get extremely fine control, but it also has a bit of 'springiness' to it. It tends to want to balance facing upwards, and for large changes in balance it takes a huge amount of wrist-cranking. People talk about the plastic safety-release lever being a weak point and I can definitely see that can be the case. But it seems like the sort of thing you'd only break if you don't transport it properly or rent this head out. Ultimately what helps me to sleep at night is that you can get replacement parts for Manfrotto, and I have done so in the past, and that is why I would choose this over a cheaper brand.
