INNORELVideo Fluid Head Mount,V6 Professional Camera Tripod Fluid Drag Pan Head with 1/4” and 3/8” Screws Sliding Plate for DSLR Cameras, Camcorders, Telescope, Max Load 17lbs/8kg

Talk about a pleasant surprise. This fluid head works very well. I used it with my Canon C100 as well as my Canon 6D, T3i and T4i. Panning and moving works smoothly. I liked it so much, I bought a second one. It is well built. I liked it so much that I bought a second one. I think I am going to buy one more. If you are looking for a fluid head that work very well at a great price, get this one.DSLR'S work will with this. The Canon C100 with a big lens works well with it. I don't know if a bigger camera would work well with this fluid head but it is supposed to have a 26 pound capacity so I would imagine that it would. I would recommend this fluid head to anybody looking for one but do not want to spend the money for a more expensive brand.

I am currently using this with my Nikon D810 with various lenses from the small 1980's 50mm to the modern Nikon 200-500. It is a Nikon 70-200 in the pic. I find that all the knobs tighten well and the movement is smooth. It is a little different from my other heads but it is just a matter of adjustment to something new. I did find myself needing additional slide plates. I gave a shot on the "Neewer 2-Pack Rapid Connect Quick Shoe Sliding Plate Camera Mounts with 1/4 inch and 3/8 inches Mounting Screws for Manfrotto 501HDV 503HDV 701HDV MH055M0-Q5" and they fit and seem like they will work for me. All in all seems like a good tripod head.

I like this tripod head for video work on my Nikon Z cameras. I am using it for a Z7II with a 5.5 inch monitor in the hot shoe and the Sigma 50-100 F1.8, which is a pretty heavy lens. The head handles the weight no problem. There is a spring in the tilt axis which returns the head to level. This means you can't tilt the head down to vertical to lay the handle against the tripod for transport. For me, not a big deal as I just remove the handle. Fluid head movement on all axises is good. The quick release plate and locking mechanism is solid. Overall good for a medium size camera/lens set up.

Build quality is good for the price and better than expected for the price. I have larger pro fluid heads, but needed something smaller and did not want to dump $500 on a true pro head. Gave this one a chance and it does a decent job. Not perfect, but works well. In the attached photo you can see I have mounted a Nikon body with a 1000mm lens (total weight of camera and lens is about 6 lbs.) I think that is about the maximum this head can handle. Manufacturer states up to 22lbs - no way will it handle that much weight. Panning is pretty good. Locking is good. Easy to balance camera/lens so it is neutral. Quick release plate is pretty good. The two-section handle is nice. Overall I would recommend this small fluid head for those not wanting to spend a ton of cash.

This is an awesome head for the money. Perfect for my travel tripod and no great loss if the airlines throw my bag around. Fluid movement is outstanding and better than expected. Build quality and included camera screws are also better than expected. My only complaint is the lack of a separate Tilt lock. You have to use the Tilt friction knob to lock the tilt (not the end of the world, but a separate knob would of been nice).That said I value for my money this tripod head has been one of my best Amazon purchases.
