The head is very useful for my predator hunting setup. The tension is fast to adjust, and holds. It is a simple twist to adjust tension to cater to my setup. I mounted it on top of a Primos Trigger Stick Tripod, and it is like the two were a match always meant to be for coyote calling. The magnetic hold has surprised me with its usefulness. During a grocery trip (hunting a meat doe on the edge of town), I was able to switch from the Davros/ trigger sticks to a Spartan bipod in a matter of seconds.
