Great Legs poor Fluid Head

I am a professional videographer who shoots Live Dance performances so i have to be able to level the camera to allign with the stage and to pan and tilt smoothly to follow the dancers. After trying many times I could never get the “Fluid” head to balance the camera so it would stay in one place without tilting up or down on it’s own, and I coud never set the pan to where it would start without some kind of jerking. Once it got going it was smooth but irregular in it's tension. Starting and stopping the pan throughout a show just produced jerky motion. The legs were light and stiff and i loved them but not the head … Not for me. In my opinion it’s not a professional fluid head at all. So I've had to send it all back. Going to re-buy the legs and find a better head to suit my needs.
