Dropped the hammer on the Outdoorsmans pan head last night.  My wife wants to have a talk with you now bigshooter :chuckle:

O great another woman wants to kill me.  :chuckle:

I think i'm going to sell the head I just bought.  It is bigger and heavier than what I want.

Is the head of your new Manfrotto a pan head or a pistol grip?  I'm looking to replace my bogen pistol grip head on my big Manfrotto the,  and weight isn't an option for me.

This is the head i bought.   And it's also the head i'm gonna sell.   http://outdoorsmans.com/product/manfrotto-mvh502ah/

Got my new Outdoorsmans head last week!  It was painful to drop the coin but like every piece of Outdoorsmans equipment I buy, the pain is forgotten quickly once I use it!  This head is super light, very easy to use, and as all their other stuff, its all machined aluminum so there is no slop, flex,  or creep.  It isn't a fluid head so freezing isn't an issue.  It has individual locks for pan and tilt and it locks down solid and doesn't move off target when you lock it down.  Well worth the money!

I just ordered another outdoorsman medium tripod with the same head and a pair of the new 15x56 HDs.  Should be here Tuesday - can't wait!

My outdoorsmans setup is hands down the best gear purchase I have made in the last decade.

Did your window mount have a 3/8 stud or did you have to modify it.  I just got my adapter in the mail today and my dang window mount has a 1/4 stud.  I took my window mount apart and was just getting ready to drill and tap it for 3/8.

Man I really like the looks of those heads.  For the window mount I see you are putting A quick release adapter on your window mount.  Do you also have to put a quick release adapter on your head or does the head come with a quick release plate that will fit into your window mount adapter?

The head and the adapter both use the same mounting plates.  I don't think there is a better lighweight panhead for hunting on the market.  Its small, lightweight, not temperature sensative, and as solid as rock.  It does cost a bit more than most.  Buy once cry once right :yike:

I told the guy at Outdoorsmans what I was going to do with it and he said he would put an adapter in the quick detach.  They are like $5 or $6 from Outdoorsmans.   When I got the part, I could directly attach it to my window mount.
