Ares is Secced right?
So, I used some of their stuff, while new they behave like sachtlers, almost. problem I had were: 1. The leveling bubble is too small, hard to judge level as it seems to lie a bit. 2. After 12 days of hard field use the ball (not the head, but the ball connector) was not handling as smoothly. 3. Some of the plastic connectors on the legs - like cups at the end of the tubes could get loose. Al in all I would say they are good for their price - much better than Bogen/Manfroto 501 when new, can't say how they would behave after a year. Head is smooth.
