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

A bowl only makes sense if you have a collection. A monopod or a slider is going to need a flat based head.

If you're doing fast run and gun and need the added set up speed having a dedicated video tripod makes sense. But if losing a couple minutes adjusting legs and head isn't an issue it's not likely worth worrying about.

I'll throw this out. Just rent something. Or buy something cheap. All the reading and discussion will only get you so far. Eventually you need to see for yourself how things work with your gear in your hands.
