SmallRig Tripod Fluid Head Pan Tilt Head with Quick Release Plate for Arca Swiss for Compact Video Cameras and DSLR Cameras -3259B

I was surprised at how small this head is. I use my tripods for both stills and video so I simply attached it to an existing mount. At this point, I'm not so sure I want to dedicate a tripod specifically for this head - just personal taste. The smaller size makes it easy to just toss in the bag. I took the photos to show how small it is - Nikon Z30 with the Nikkor 12-28mm PZ. I also tried it with my D750/Nikkor 28-300 and it held fine. My primary use for this would be for the Z30. First thing I did was flip the handle (allen key hidden & magnetic is a nice touch). This allows me the ability to use one hand to pan and the other to press the record button and power zoom controls :-) Both vertical and horizontal panning is very smooth. I would say that so far, pretty pleased with it.

Needed a not-so-bulky fluid camera mount for my monopod that I use for wildlife photography and it's perfect! The camera and lens in the photo weigh approximately 5.5 pounds and even at a 45 degree angle held for several minutes the mount joints never moved! It's sturdy yet smooth when you move it and hold all the weight you need. My one TINY issue is that the screw used to mount to the camera is about a full thread (about 2mm) too short to fully lock into the camera so after using it for about an hour and hiking the camera kept coming a tad bit, though not significantly loose, but I can deal with that for the price, versatility, and overall quality!

Excelente si deseas mantener una configuración práctica y ligera, a mi me a ayudado mucho a la hora de moverme entre distintas locaciones y tener la facilidad de llegar grabar y salir.

Love this head. It is tiny but I have my 80 mm spotting scope (3 lbs) mounted on it with no problems. Very smooth in both directions and you can adjust the drag in both directions with the knobs (although they are a little sensitive for this). Rock solid when locked. My only concern is that the knobs are plastic and I wonder about their durability. Wish they were metal but I think the rest of the head is metal. I don't baby my equipment so I will know after a while how durable it is. Will update as necessary. Until then I have achieved a big weight reduction over my old head with no compromises that I see yet.

Got it on Black Friday Sale. Smaller then I thought it would be. Not recommended for Large DSLR/Mirrorless camera. If you don't balance the camera/lens correctly it will drop forward, unless you lock the pivot down. Works ok. Comes with Allen key attached via magnet, Used to remove handle. Arca Swiss plate is very good and locks on head nicely. CON: Bubble Level is under the Arca Swiss Plate, so can't be used once camera is mounted. PRO: Build quality is very good NOTE Using with Nikon Z7ii camera with 85mm f/1.8 lens, also with Smaller Canon EOS M6 Mark II. You need to be careful and lock the pivot down other wise camera will move forward/down. Recommended for smaller cameras only.
