Benro designed this WH15 Long Lens Wildlife Head for those who regularly shoot with long telephoto or zoom lenses, like sports and wildlife photographers. It has a load capacity of 33.1 pounds, making it well suited for even full frame DSLRs with long prime telephoto lenses. The head features dual panning functions so you can pan from the base with the adjustable pan friction, or if required the quick release platform can also be independently rotated. The head features friction control for both pan and tilt functions along with eight selectable settings to counterbalance the tilt. These selectable settings allow the head to remain in position without having to lock it.
The sliding Arca-type quick release plate helps balance equipment on the head, has a classic locking-knob design, and features an index scale for precise, repeatable results. It also has safety screw cutouts to prevent a loosened plate from accidentally releasing too soon.
The WH15 has a three-section pan handle that you can extend to suit your application, and you can mount it to either side of the head for right- or left-handed use. The handle can also be removed and used as a selfie stick.
