Review: I’ve got mixed views on this product! I own quite a large number of Bosch Professional products and overall very pleased, but this one doesn’t quite live up to expectations. The tripod base is well made, very sturdy and the ability to reach 2.5m is great, and the reason I purchased it. I’d read reviews and seen videos complaining about how bad the pan/tilt head was so knew what to expect to some extent, but despite setting expectations lower than normal I was still surprised at the quality. On first inspection one of the adjustable feet wouldn’t turn, appears that the nut/foot is seized to the threaded bolt and no amount of penetrating fluid or aggression with a pair of grips is going to sort it, so quick call to Bosch support and I’ve been promised a spare part so fingers crossed it’ll arrive shortly. The head however! I’m surprised that it could pass quality control being that bad. On closer inspection I realised that there’s a tension pin fitted through the extending aluminium tube to the head, and the hole drilled in the aluminium was approximately 0.5mm off creating a pivot point. It doesn’t sound like much but when you put a laser on the top it’s amazing how much wobble is introduced. If it wasn’t for the fact that I purchased during prime day, I’d have sent it back as faulty but instead I decided to correct the issue. I popped the pin out using a punch and put a square across the tube which also wasn’t square! Come on Bosch, there’s no excuse for that. Again possibly only 0.5mm but enough to add to the issue. I filed the tube flat and square which only took a few minutes, took the head apart (there’s a slotted finger tightening screw under the tilt head that allows the unit to come apart) put the plastic boss back in the tube, making sure I was 90 degrees off the original hole, marked it, then drilled a 2.5mm hole ever so slightly higher than where marked, so that it added downward tension when the pin was reinstalled. It took a little persuading to get the pin back in but now it’s absolutely solid. No movement on the plastic boss at all. Woohoo! Reinstalled the rest of the head, and I’d like to say it was rock solid! However, the mount is now rock solid and doesn’t move in relation to the tripod, however the rest of the unit still has a fair amount of flex in and around the various pivot points so whilst it’s 90% better, and probably 95% if you lock off the 360 degree bottom pivot, it’s still no where near as good as an aluminium pan/tilt head. At £105 I’d consider something else unless you need the 2.5m height capability. I considered the BT300HD but I’m only an occasional user so at over £175 it’s completely OTT for me. I picked this up for £72 so over all can’t complain taking into consideration the cost compared to other options, but quite honestly at £105 I’d have a harder time being so accepting of it. You might be lucky and get one a lot better, I have seen that others have been lucky, but if you get one like mine, either be prepared to do some tweaking, make a few returns until you get a good one, find an alternative, or if you get it in a sale, take it for what it is, a good sturdy base with great height possibility, with a sub standard head.
