The 501HDV Pro Video Head features improved drag in both axes and switchable counterbalance for the latest ultralight high-definition camcorders. A sliding camera plate helps balance uneven payloads due to outboard batteries or matte boxes, dual rosettes permit left- or two-handed pan arm configurations, and the rear-mounted spirit level facilitates rapid setups.

Best Uses
I purchased this kit to use with the Glidetrack Hybrid .75m and it seriously works PERFECTLY. Obviously you can get larger tripods, more stable, etc., however, with these three products, you're able to create a FULLY portable unit. I use this to pack into my suitcase when flying to different jobs. The head is SLIGHTLY sticky when first using and takes some getting used to, but it is definitely worth the price. I'm able to fully extend to almost 7' with the head and the Glidetrack which makes for some out of this world shots otherwise impossible without serious tracks or a larger dolly system.
