Best fluid head for the price

This fluid bowl head is truly amazing, given its small size and weight capacity. Functionally, this system is perfect for smooth movements from a set of sticks. Comparing it to my 502H flatbase, night and day. SACHTLER rules.

Sachtler lite

Somewhat spindlier and not as sturdy as I expected from Sachtler. Really for DSLR.
