Q: 7. What makes this head different from other $500 heads? Why would you buy it over a comparable manfrotto head? Are there special features I'm not seeing or aware of?

A: The one thing that is unique about this head, assuming you can find legs that will also have the same or higher weight capacity, is the payload rating of 150lb., which is unheard of on other heads in the same price range.

Q: 8. Can you use a low-profile tiedown for the bottom instead of this handle? I'd like to take the one from the benro hi-hat and use it for situations where the head is very low to the ground.

A: Yes you can, just as long as the low profile tie down has a 3/8"-16 connection.

Q: 9. Does the vertical tilt lock down well when there is a heavy load on the head? The system we will be mounting will be 50+ lbs, and will need to sometimes be locked at an angle.

A: Yes, it locks very well. Two things...there is a locking pin that has to be pulled out and reinserted to lock the head AND the plate under the ball has to be reversed so the flat not curved side is against the ball. We use the Kessler Pocket Jib with a C300 and 45 lbs counterweight without issue.

Q: 10. what is the tilt range?

A: The tilt range of the Kessler Crane Hercules 2.0 Head is 90 degrees forward and back.
