This lightweight, professional-grade video head is just what you need to upgrade an existing tripod. Just be sure that your tripod has a 3/8 threaded female receiver. (One of my SLIK tripods did not.) This head can also be mounted to ball adapters.
If your looking for a great head with nearly perfectly fluid pans and tilts, this is it. Very solid piece of gear. Only flaw is the tilt lock doesn't lock down so easily, needs a few strong turns. Would be a problem for heavier loads.
If you have the money get a manfroto. If not this is a decent alternative. It's small and light. The tilt is ok the pan is a tad stiff and wants to come back. This only supports about 5lbs so keep that in mind
Manfrotto head's screw diameter doesn't really fit with Benro tripod. I bought this to solve it, but this head just isn't good. It's too stiff in panning and tilting. Also, it doesn't stop when you pan or tilt. It comes back a little bit. Very hard to use. I'm going back to Manfrotto head.
I love Benro Products. I would give this a fifth star if you could haul a little more weight but other than that it's an amazing video head.
I bought this to change to a video style head on my Benro folding, travel tripod. My second big trip it with it and it literally came apart! In the middle of a 2 month trip to remote parts of Brazil where I had no access to get a replacement.
perfect for dslr users on the top of slider.
