Just it a few days ago.  Haven't had good weather to do much with it yet. Have it set up with my Nikon D850.  Everything seems to be working good.  Would be interested in sharing results and tips.  So far have played with it using the 28-300mm and 200-500mm Nikon lenses.

Majestic Model 1000E Tripod Head
I’ve used this and Gitzo ball heads and Bogen/ Manfroto
But I didn’t transition well from RB & Hasselblad & Nikon F4 to this digital stuff.

Have you played with the IOptron or skytracker?   I'd be interested in a comparison after you get to use the Benro a bit.

Skytracker won't handle a camera and lenses as heavy as mine.   Many of the other mounts are designed for telescopes more than cameras.  So far I like what it can do but weather hasn't cooperated for pictures.  I have been playing with it to learn to use the features so I can get pictures when the weather is good. I did learn that I needed a new tripod and leveling head to make it easier to use and more accurate.  That should be here by the end of the week.  Accuracy depends on how level you can keep it.

That is a good head for what you are doing.  This head isn't for my 4x5 view camera or medium format.
