Review: The best value piece of videomaking kit you'll ever buy - The best value video head on the market probably doesn't need yet another review, but at £149 you will likely not get a quality option like this brand new. Pans and tilts are just effortless, meaning you can get professional quality shots without the price tag associated. I personally use the head without the handle, as I can get that little bit more control and find this more comfortable, but the handle is sturdy once attached with the ability to mount either side of the head meaning left and right-handed users have choices. It's a big head, heavy but reassuring in its weight, as it feels very premium especially for the price. The dials and adjustment toggles are nice and chunky, everything feels reassuring and well thought out, so quick adjustments can be made on the fly. I would say be careful about leaving the head in cold areas, as the fluid movement does stiffen when cold and make a ticking or clicking noise. The camera mounting track is also great, but the rubber stopper that allows for various thread attachments have worn slightly which is disappointing. Pros: - Exceptional value - Professional level kit - Extremely smooth pans and tilts - Ergonomic and comfortable to use - High-quality and durable - Easy to master Cons: - Rubber track on camera mounting place can wear - Expensive to replace any lost parts
Review: A huge and high quality beast of a head - I only received mine yesterday, but have already returned it. However, I've seen enough to give it 5 stars. The reason for my return was simply that it's too large and heavy for my uses. I was aware from reviews that it was fairly large, but was still not expecting it to be quite as large as it is! It weighs as much as a heavy lens, plus due to it's size and less than ideal shape, it's not easy squeezing it into my large camera bag. I did some testing with it during yesterday, and found it had beautifully smooth movement for panning and tilting, and the adjustable torque for both gave an adequate range of adjustment. It's built very well indeed and is very high quality. I did find the packaging less than ideal (not desertcart, which is almost always poor, but inside Manfrotto's box) as the head had a fair bit of movement within it and not enough protection. It's a minor gripe though. In conclusion, I'd say that it's an excellent product. However, be aware that no matter how large and heavy you expect it to be - It's probably going to surprise you just how large and heavy it is. On my Three Legged Thing Travis tripod, which is what I'd call a large travel tripod, the head completely dwarfs the part it screws onto. It is still fairly stable and a decent fit, but I wouldn't want to use it on a smaller or less sturdy travel tripod.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Kit
*by J***S on 3 July 2014*

I am mainly a stills photographer and in the past made the mistake of buying cheap tripods, these days I have a couple of Manfrotto tripods (travel + studio) because good quality kit makes a difference. When I started to experiment with video I quickly realised that I really needed some help if I was to avoid video output with jerky movements on panning etc. so after thinking it through decided to buy this video head to use on my existing kit. The first thing as others have mentioned is that I was surprised just how big it was compared to my existing heads which turns out to be no bad thing. It is superb kit with a variable resistance on your two key planes (horizontal/vertical), that you can choose to suit yourself and it really does the job, I am able to practice my 'moves' so that I can get smooth video results. A nice touch is that the handle/lever can be mounted on the right or left hand side to suit personal taste. One cautionary note for DSLR users: The camera mount is a long rectangular plate which is secured at two points, a release button on the back and a screw in knob on the right hand side which engages a lock on the slide. I am using a quite large Panasonic shoulder mounted camera on this head and it fits fine because the bulk of any video camera runs front to back however, a DSLR fits 'sideways', the bulk of the body being at right angles to the front. The problem with this being that the right hand securing screw for the camera mounting plate cannot be tightened because it fouls the underside of the camera body. This is not a problem if you are using a long telephoto lens which has a tripod mount so that it is the lens mount that you are fitting to the mount plate rather than the camera body itself. I have a 150-500 lens which I have mounted and it gives plenty of clearance to tighten up the side screw.
