I have this video Neiger now arranges already 9 months in use and am more or less so that pans are just not making butterweich (horizontally and vertically). Many years ago I had the opportunity to try a tripod with mounted fluid-head in a good photo shop. The brand I no longer know. Of this I was thrilled and impressed. No jerks at the beginning of Schenk - everything went very easily and as the saying goes "like butter". In other words, at the beginning of the pans had to be overcome no resistance. This behavior since I associate the term "fluid head". Of course, the whole thing came at a price and at the time was just under 1000.00 for tripod and video head attached. I thought that in the many years that have passed since, moved on the development and the price has dropped. Accordingly I was disappointed that I was unable to determine the expected in this fluid video-Neiger "smooth as silk". Nevertheless, I have now come to terms with this video Neiger and keep him because I also pay attention to the weight. The expensive video Neiger also weigh considerably more equal. In various other properties has already been discussed in the other reviews and I do not want to repeat. Three Stars I still forgive because of the price and the low weight.
