I got this to have a cheap, small head to go on a set of stills sticks for my b-cam when I'm traveling. Caveat this review with the fact that my next cheapest head is a Miller DS20 that costs $750 more and that't my beater/b-cam head. The head feels quite well made and action is smooth once you're panning or tilting, but starting and stopping a pan or title isn't as smooth as on nicer heads. It's not jerky necessarily, but it just doesn't have the same organic smoothness I can get out of my Miller and Sachtler heads. But... it's so much cheaper I'm not sure I can fault it. For my use, which is basically plopping a small b-cam on it that never moves for an interview, it's totally fine. I wouldn't want it to be my only head, but I'm not sure if there's anything better for under 4x the price.
