The Bogen 3057 is a heavy duty three-way head designed for large format cameras. You can use it for smaller cameras- nothing stopping you- but it's definitely better for the big stuff. In good working order, with some cosmetic paint and finish wear. The included plate is a standard hex-type with a large adjustable 10x15cm platform. Please note that while the platform is removable, the included hex plate can't be used by itself without a shorter camera mounting screw (not included).
