Cheap Slik Fluid Head -- $15

[galt_57]

I bought a Slik fluid head off Ebay that seems rather nice but I wonder if anyone else here has one and has compared it to the Manfrotto heads? The Slik that is being sold is the head off the 504QF tripod. It seems pretty solid to me, but I do not own a Manfrotto to compare it to.

The head is heavy plastic construction. It does lack pan/tilt locks. $5 US S&H.
