Okay for stills, useless for video. The pan and tilt action is not even remotely smooth - this should not even be called a "pan" head as it is not useful for panning!

I was going to use it fixed to a flat board for low angle use, but the handle is FIXED IN PLACE and cannot be rotated or removed (It appears there is a pin that would need to be drilled out) as such, the unit needs a destructive modification to allow the hand to be rotated for low angle use.

Exceeded my expectations! This tripod head is very underrated. Other brands are more expensive and cheaply made. It pans smoothly and the quick release is not plastic! For the price you just can't go wrong this!
