Re: Considering a fluid head - A7Riv and Tamron 28-200

The current gear isn't well suited to video panning.  The big ball head with the 200-600 head is ok for stills but rather stiff.  I've used it in the gimbal notch and it could be better, so a Sidekick isn't likely an approach there, either.  But it's not my more immediate target for video use.

The big tripod I use with the 200-600 has an integral 75mm ball so I've got leveling there already.  A leveling base of some sort would  be needed for use with the smaller tripod/s but would still want to improve movement control.

I've looked a little at the Smallrig.  I have one of their l brackets so think well of their stuff, just not real familiar with this head.  Price is nice but is low enough to wonder about to see if it performs well.  I like that it's Arca Swiss to start.
