A great rig for outdoor photography and videography

It's a great and smooth fluid head for the price. Just keep in mind you are not buying a high end studio piece of equipment here. This is great for field shoots that involve packing light and hiking or trekking to a shoot. Definitely worth the money for those fields of work. The handle twist lock extends to a reasonable and helpful length of just shy of a foot. The quick release mount gives you a rapid set up and tear down ability. It fits well on my heavier Manfrotto tripod as well as my lightweight carbon fiber Tiffen.

Good Stuff!

As usual, top quality Fit and Finish from Small Rig, very smooth action, locks up well. A definite must have for the Pro or Serious Amateur.

What sets the SmallRig Lightweight Fluid Video Head 3457B apart is its meticulous design, specifically engineered for videography and photography enthusiasts. This durable and versatile fluid head offers panoramic panning capabilities, ensuring smooth and stable movement for every shot.

Its compatibility with the Arca-swiss QR system allows it to seamlessly integrate with Arca-swiss cages and L brackets, enhancing its functionality. The center of gravity can be adjusted back and forth with a simple turn of the side knob, providing optimal balance when using large lenses or mounting the camera horizontally.

This sturdy video head comes equipped with a removable telescopic handle that supports a full 360-degree swivel, offering maximum flexibility during shoots. The handle also features a 1/4''-20 threaded hole, making it easy to attach a magic arm for devices such as monitors, microphones, image transmitters, or even additional cameras.

To further enhance its user-friendly design, the SmallRig Lightweight Fluid Video Head 3457B includes a built-in spanner for effortless removal or installation of quick-release plates. Please note that the use of heavy cameras and lenses may influence the tilt experience of the head. This high-quality fluid video head is a reliable choice for both professional and amateur videographers and photographers.
