The Rollei T8S Mark III can't quite keep up in terms of handling: It is not as fluid and comfortable to use as Gitzo or Novoflex. On the other hand, it is compact, light and considerably cheaper: a choice for photographers who only use a tripod occasionally.

Product details
The most versatile member of the new professional ball head generation from Rollei is undoubtedly the T8S Mark III panoramic head. Carefully milled from quality aluminum, the individual parts of the head work together with absolutely no play, and the head alone allows a maximum payload of 22 kg. This carrying capacity is even sufficient for full-frame cameras that have been equipped with premium-class super-telephoto lenses. The fixation of the ball element holds the maximum load even in the two quickly exchangeable 90° cut-outs, ensuring safe aiming at the desired subject. This guarantees quality for razor-sharp long-term exposures and filter shots. The enclosed Arca Swiss quick release plate has a length of 50 mm and offers sufficient contact surface for particularly heavy professional cases and other high-end accessories.
