Yeah I did - very nice setup. We did makes number of mods though which are important.
Firstly we got a heap of bearings of trade me drilled out all the guide bars and set them up to move freely.
Second, bearings in the main pivot so it doesn't wear into the aluminium tripod head
Thirdly, the pan literally is a bolt sitting on the tripods plastic cap. That lasted 10 minutes, so we got a thrust bearing the fitted insid the stand tube.
Sounds like a lot, but is really straight forward and quick to do. No regrets at all n buying the kit!
