Tricer-DZ

Who has tested the Tricer DZ head? I'm curious how it compares to the Anvil 30 for shooting.

I have a few West Texas hunts with it and a New Mexico mule deer hunt with it so far. My first impressions were great it’s stable and pans fantanatic in all directions. You can lock down the north/south direction and seamlessly slow pan with the right amount of drag.

My 1 complaint is the handle would get stuck when trying to bring it out and in. The first trip out with it my handle broke and is now unusable.(this complaint is prob due to user error, I did crank on the handle and it snapped the internal rivets within handle.) Just seems to me for a $350+ item, there should be a little more strength on the handle internals.

@HootCamo thanks for the info. I went ahead and ordered one to try out.

Another note: my drag for the right to left movement was locked in the out position(freely moving without drag) upon receiving the product. I thought It did not have a lock down in the beginning. I had to grab a wrench and really crank on it until it busted loose. Now it works flawlessly. Holds a Sony 7IV and 200-600mm lens with no problems.
