Re: They're here. VH-10x

VH-10x - fit and finish fine. It's well larger than the VA-5 but not as large as the Manfrotto MVH502ah.. It uses the larger of the Manfrotto" style plates and is also taller. It has a 4 setting pan damping adjustment which looks to add to the overall height in addition to just being larger for the larger plate, etc. Tilt seems to have some adjustability but it's not marked or clicked. Also has counterbalancing. Movements seem very smooth. I think this may be used mostly with the 200-600 for now.

I've got it on a half bowl adapter on a Sirui SR-3203 tripod. I haven't weighed it. Even with a 3 section tripod, in this case the supplied bag was longer and this fits easily in the bag.

Expect to use it before too long but will be starting with the lighter kit initially.
