Great Buy!

This is used for live/recorded video of a church service; our budget was limited so I opted for this head and was very pleasantly surprised at how smooth it pans/tilts, esp. for the price!

If you are needing an affordable video head, get this!

Great video head for the price

This tripod head was purchased for the use of my church in filming our services.  As you can imagine, our budget for stuff like this is tight, but we still require quality; this has what we need!

While it is not feature rich, what it does, it does well; it pans and tilts smooth!  It does have adjustments for the drag, so you can customize it for your camera's weight.  It also has separate knobs to lock it in place (separate for pan and tilt).

Can't be beat for the price!

It is excellent for the price. I used it on a monopod to shoot video. tilt and pan are fluid and smooth but panning is alittle tough partly because single footing of a monopod. This is the first one I've owned; never tried competitors but this works for me.

great value fluid head

I purchased this to attach to a camera slider called the Cinemover.  It works great to get smooth sliding shots of whatever I'm filming.  It secures to the camera well and it pans and tilts very smoothly.  I don't use it that often, so I don't know how well it will hold up in the long run, but I imagine for what I'm using it for, it will be great.

Awesome head for the price

I put this on my Ravelli tripod. The top of the tripod has movement I don't want. I flipped the center pole over and now thhis head mounts without unwanted movement. The head moves smoothly and the attachment is secure and easy, you just push down and the lever secures it. I have not filmed with it yet but will try to post when that happens.

Good features on the cheap

I purchased this for use on my slider for my video camera.  I used it with a Canon 60D and it worked great.  I plan on using it with my Sony NX5U soon, and I don't anticipate any problems.

My only complaint, and it's a small one, is that the panning and tilting movement is quite stiff, even with the locking screws loosened all the way.  But I would imagine that they will loosen up the more I use it.
  
I don't know of any better tripod head for the price.

Great head for the price

We have had a pair of Velbon tripods with this head for many, many years (10+), and have just now had to replace the heads.  We have used them for video cameras of many sizes and shapes, and the heads have always performed very well, with very smooth pans and tilts.  The old heads performed so well that I wanted to get something as close as possible to replace them.  I was very pleasantly surprised to find that they still made the same head, and eagerly ordered the same model to replace the old ones.  Yes, the head is a bit heavy, but it is built very well and performs beautifully for years.  The only reason we have had to replace them even now was due to some new, young videographers that did not take proper care of equipment.  :(
