Very smooth , only issue is the knob to tighten plate is blocked by camera or cage when the camera is centered. Otherwise great.

Extremely fluid. Wish the resistance was a little easier to adjust, but it gets the job done

It works! The video head fits on my tripod, supports my Sony video camera properly, and was easy to assemble. It might not be as smooth as a $500 video head, but is absolutely does the job.

I dont like this one that came with the tripod. They should change to the other video head or give you an option of choosing which one.

You have no idea how I hate to give a bad review. I bought this thru the help from your sales dept. It did not work for what i needed and that was a disappointment. I need a holder for item fp3prpv3ahl which was also recommended which i ordered 4 of.

There are many other and expensive video heads but this one pans easy, covers vast distance and easily set up.

Purchased two of these for video sliders and they work great. They are small enough to pack easily and provide good fluid movements.

I purchased this along with a video monopod & tripod. The tripod already had a built in head, but I need a fluid head to tilt up and down. This head handles 11lbs. which is a lot of camera and or video gear. This was a perfect fit for the video monopod. The silver tilt lock doesn't stay locked even, when you think you have turned it hard enough, several times it has unlocked and slammed the camera forward while on a monopod.

Very good product. Works like it should, however for reasons not clear to me yet, I believe this was not made by Manfrotto/Bogen, as advertised. Still a very good design & product.

I don't like giving negative reviews but this is not a good video head... at least... for a Sony RX10M3. Does not fit. Ended up buying another brand and paying $160.00 and I'm happy with it.

You will most likely need another QR baseplate on top to use it with a dslr. The silver tilt lock doesn't stay locked even when you think you have turned it hard enough several times it has unlocked and slammed the camera forward while on a monopod.

I purchased this along with a video monopod. The video monopod already had a built in panning head, but I need a fluid head to tilt up and down.This head handles 11lbs. which is a lot of camera and or video gear. This was a perfect fit for the video monopod. The only reason for only 4 stars, is that the panning was no where near as smooth in the panning mode as the built in video monopod, BUT the tilting up and down is butter smooth, and that has help with my videos looking less shakey.
