Sirui VA-5 vs. Wiser Precision Nighthawk PH 170

In this video we compare the Sirui VA-5 and the Wiser Precision Nighthawk PH 170.
SIRUI VA - 5
The The ultra compact VA-5 pan head from Sirui (sue-ray) is the perfect backcountry head to use with larger spotting scopes (65mm and up). With maximum load capacity of up to 6.6 lbs it is the ideal fluid video head for use with high end spotting scopes, DSLR system cameras, and camcorders. With its advanced fluid system, it allows for a soft, quiet and vibration-free pan and tilt when glassing those high country bucks.
WISER PRECISION NIGHTHAWK PH 170
The PH-170 NightHawk Ultralight Pan Head is the perfect choice for hunters looking to stabilize their optics while saving weight. When you get your optics stable you are guaranteed to spot more animals. The NightHawk Pan Head pairs perfectly with our Quick-StiX System or any standard tripod to get your optics stable without the huge weight penalty. This minimalist head comes in at just 6.1 oz.

I was pumped about the Nighthawk until I used my buddy's. The spring back is so damn annoying, and we couldn't get rid of it. Hope they can figure it out in a Gen 2 version, because the weight is unbeatable.

We're really late on this reply, but all heads shipped since Black Friday of 2022 have been updated and no longer have any spring back! On older heads, a light tension to the pan axis should have removed any spring back.

@wiserprecision the boys at S&S hooked me up and I have the new and improved Nighthawk..we good!

[@SandSArchery]

What binos are you trying to use? Do your binos have a stud connection?
