Leofoto BV-15L Reviews

Great if you're mainly a photographer looking to add some video.

This is perfect if video isn't your main thing. I do 90% photography but I do enjoy making and posting videos. I can add this to my tripod and use it to make some pro-looking shots that separate me from a lot of photographers that just do static videos. If you know ahead of time that you want to go big into video then get the model that's one step above this one. For my mixed needs this outperforms. It's durable, smooth and compact so I can bring it "just in case" and it's not taking much away from the pace I need for all my prime lenses etc.
