This works perfect on our small jib with a 6 lb video camera!

I used the Pan head for smooth panning video. It is great for this type of usage. If running at its max speed there is some motor noise that may be picked up by a sensitivity camera microphone. With normal audio volume this should not be a problem. I have owned other types and this is, so far, the best.

Well, it's great for those almost 360 video sweeps which allow you to put the tripod right into a corner, thus getting as much panning as possible. Smooth movement and just the right speed for the videoing I found. You will need the 50ft extension for this and the price is not inhibitive. Apart from the weight it's a great bit of kit.

I have had it for a few years and love it. I have had to fix the cable, but only because I work it so hard. So far it has met my expectations.

With this item cause of the price and the cheapest head you can get, I reckon it's good, but for a crane or fast camera moves, this will not help, it restricts your movement, cause of it's slow pan. So it depends what you need it for, I use it on a crane, and it works, but cant get a full control and speed of what I want, I'm restricted to it's capabilities. On a tripod or mount it somewhere just so you can get control from a distant or a moving effect shot, is what I'd recommend it for, but on a crane, it's just there to do the job, it is limited to what it can do, If there was something else better I'd prefer that over this.

This is a really useful device, I use it for elevated photography on top of a 10 meter mast, I mount a D70 to it with quite a heavy lens, it handles the weight very well. I would recommend buying the additional remote cable as the one provided is not that long.
