I bought a Gitzo PL5 tripod head so I don't need this anymore.
This head works but there is one small hiccup with it. You have to assist the locking lever. I've never had a problem with it nor questioned it's sturdiness. Works great and is pretty lightweight. I'll list the specs taken from BHPhoto below.
