Great value, solid performance.

About Manfrotto 516 Pro Video Fluid Head with Quick Release - SKU#1402005

Specifically designed for the latest DV camcorders, the 516 Pro Video Head is compact, light, and can support cameras up to 22 lbs.

The 516 is a cost effective high performance video head equipped with fluid cartridges that provides continuous adjustable drag control. This system gives quite a wide range of friction control down to "zero drag" and operates on both pan and tilt axis.

Other features include separate pan and tilt locking mechanism, a fixed counter balance spring of 16.5 lbs load capacity at a center of gravity of 5", two telescopic pan handles, and a bubble level.

The 516 can be mounted on a flat base tripod with a 3/8" female thread attachment, or by attaching the 3141BALL to the head base, allowing it to fit a 100mm bowl.
