Wiser BT-20 Ridge Warden

[WyoHuntr]

I was pleasantly surprised with how well it does glassing. It really is a lot smoother than it has any right to be. Ive only used my Swaro 65mm. and Kowa 55mm, though. Haven't killed an animal with it yet. Shot the gong a few times with it and a Quick-Stick/trekking pole rear. I can definitely see a few use case scenarios for it.

I own several micro fluid heads and I dont think they have much advantage over the BT in movement. (Ive found the micro fluids to be overhyped in my opinion). I also have the ph-170 (the one Tricer copied and offshored), but I prefer the BT-20.

Anyone have an issue with the tension knob not having enough clearance from the locking knob? Is there a way to fully lock the pan out? I've been playing with mine for over a month and ended up going to the tricer pan head.
