Butter smooth panning

The first deployments with a camcorder (Sony FX1000) it gave no reason for complaint.
An "acid test" was a one-hour ballet performance. Nothing could go wrong. There were always spontaneous pan and tilt movements necessary. At the latest when cutting on the PC, the weaknesses of tripod heads / Video ball- reveal. I have not yet discovered bucking other bumpy pans!

This tripod head is likely for my film inserts (including athletics events) fulfill all your wishes. Largely explain the features of this head of its own accord. However, reading the instruction manual can not hurt. Once read, then one knows all handles.

The term "tripod head" is perhaps a bit misleading. For me it is also a full video head! Three half as expensive models have never made me happy. Any quirks all had. They will be from now on in the closet unused.

Even first works with the tripod head in conjunction with the Nikon D700 (long exposures) have simply fun. All desired settings were possible without any problems.

This tripod head assumes, of course, a suitable tripod. I use an ancient Manfrotto Model "055CB". I would give this model a maximum of three stars. The shortcomings of this tripod interest me now but barely, as the new head balances everything out.

I can give this product with a clear conscience the highest grade. Incidentally, I have no business links with the company Manfrotto ...
