Lightweight, smooth, and easy to control. Great with a spotting scope.

Can the clamp be rotated 90 degrees?

Can the clamp be rotated 90 degrees?
Asked by: Mark
The Leofoto BV-1 Fluid Video Head can rotate 360 degrees, but the Arca-type quick release clamp itself does not rotate.

What is the difference between this and Leofoto ...

What is the difference between this and Leofoto BV-1R? All I can see is that there is a small weight difference, but what else?
Asked by: Jonas
There are no other differences except the slightly lighter weight on this Leofoto BV-1 Fluid Video Head, which is an updated version of the Leofoto Mini Fluid Head BV-1R.
