Questions & Answers

Adi A : Can I use it with Induro tripod?HENRY A : This is a very good unit that works as it should. Not sure what size tripod you have but you may want to look at two other possibilities: 1). for smaller tripods the "befree fluid head works great with a Canon XA30 size camcorder; and 2) for larger tripods I use the "Benro S4" for both the Canon XA30 and DSLR with telephoto lens.WILLIAM R : yesFRANK D : I believe that it will work. THe Induro has a 3/8-16 screw mount and that is what the XPRO takes to mount.PHILIP B : yes
Alexey A : Does it come without pan bar in the box? Which pan bar comparable?TODD W : The box contains the pan bar.THOMAS L : The box contains the pan bar.
Shopper : Is this for a Camcorder?ARTHUR H : Yes, it's a great head that is primarily designed for video.Lawrence M : It works for both still camera and camcorder.Alan M : Sure would work, but I use mine for vidWILLIAM R : I use it for all my cameras, including FF DSLRs. It’s a good deal.PHILIP B : It's a bit big for a camcorder, 9lb is quite a heavy load.FRANK D : yes it is for a camcorder as well as DSLRs. I use it for a Panasonic AF100. It works OK. I have a heavier fluid head that works better but use this one more because it is easer to carry.

Great bang for your buck

Very happy with the feel of this tripod head - especially for the price. Perfect for the occasional videographer that can’t fork up the money for a higher end tripod head.

Perfect for Run & Gun

I'm mostly a solo shooter doing on-location work that requires me to travel with a lean, lightweight kit. I'd previously used a larger tripod and head, but it was just too heavy and cumbersome. I purchased a ball-and-cup adapter for my carbon fiber Gitzo and added this head -- what a difference! I don't have a lot of experience with high-quality drag mechanisms, but I find the pre-set drag on this fine for my needs.

Exactly what I was wanting!

I have loved it so far. I have been able to use it on a couple shoots so far. And it is exactly what I was wanting!

video head x-pro is excellent

Either a light dslr or heavy dslr pan smoothly and flawlessly. And, being able to take dslr off the head quickly and safely is a plus. The two controls for tightening the pan directions is very convenient. This unit is a winner!

Works like it's supposed to. Since I have a machine shop I have made several more base plates for my cameras and lenses.

Smooth, light and practical.

Works just as advertised. This is my first fluid head so I really don't have anything to compare it to. It pans and tilts smoothly, the drag adjustments work great, and it fits my needs. I switch it between my video monopod and tripod and mount my Canon 5DMIII on it with ease.
