not bad but that's all the head is quite big in size if it is for use on the go think about it 2 times, if not actually very smooth in motion the head is perfect for photos regarding the video, but it's also parfais tt depends on how you capture the audio, by what the head made a slight sound of friction during vertical movements, if not noise on lhorizontal Personally I preferred to pay the price in a Sirui head, that is cheap but good.
