Benro BV6H Overview

The Benro BV6 Video Head is designed for use with 75mm bowl tripods and supports loads up to 13.2 pounds. It features an 8-step counterbalance system to dial in the correct amount for your setup, and independent 4-step pan and tilt drag settings for precise control over camera movements. A Manfrotto 501/504PL compatible sliding quick release plate is provided, making it easy to set the balance point for your gear.

All the main controls aside from the counterbalance are located on the left side of the head, making it easy to make adjustments with a single hand while operating the camera. For added versatility, the 75mm ball tie-down stud is removable to convert the head to a flat base for use on a slider or other support device. Dual safety rosettes let you mount the included adjustable-length pan handle on either side of the head, or add a second pan handle for dual-handle control.

Benro BV6H Reviews

Great Head for the Price!

By Robert

We own 3 of these and they are the best and smoothest head you can buy for under $1000 for sure - It's all we use now when we shoot anything. - Pairs really well with our Canon xf605 cameras but any mid side or mid weight cams

Great quality
