SmallRig DH10 Heavy Duty Tripod Fluid Video Head with Flat Base and Adjustable Handle, Quick Release Plate for Manfrotto Video Head Mount Plate, Load up to 22Ibs, for Video Cameras, DSLR Cameras 4165

I bought a number of SmallRig and Rokinon products, along with Blackmagic and RODE gear, on the recommendation of a professional photographer and videographer as I was putting together a professional-grade kit for my company to produce in-house videos at scale. I couldn’t be happier. The full kit cost about the same as a single day’s shoot with a high-end production outfit. With a bit of training, we’ve already produced more than a hundred videos and turned it into a social media engine for the business. The setup has been fundamentally affordable, incredibly effective, and surprisingly approachable for non-specialists. Across the board, every product has felt professional-grade but still learnable for an amateur willing to pay a little attention. Five stars all around.

Just what I needed to shoot a few motion clips here and there. As a photographer primary, I don’t need an O’Connor head and this thing does the trick. Get smooth pans and tilts with your DSLR or other small camera. I even have mine attached via 3/8 16 straight to my sticks. Great affordable option!

This is my first real quality photo tool to pair the camera with my tripod. Not a PRO here, just a curious amateur with a bucket list of sorts. This is a nifty “bit of kit” as the Brits might say. Very good quality with a velvety smooth action weather tilting or panning. I had only one issue and that was getting the base to rotate properly. VERRY tight at first. later determined to be of MY own understanding of how the head is adjusted. This was remedied by the unlimited patience of Jesse. I was even sent a replacement at no cost for shipping. Yet, I still had the problem. His efforts revealed an improvement was needed in the information provided to the shopper. A more focused look at the panning adjustment. THAT was my Kodak moment and after that all was well. I can recommend the product wholeheartedly as well as the SmallRig company. Their customer service is excellent!

Solid, well design and good build. Parts of this head can be a bit baffling though, like the tightening mechanism being slightly insecure.

I built an "All-In-One YouTube Studio" on a light stand. Part of that setup includes an Elgato Prompter (lens mounted). I decided to support the camera and lens with a SmallRig support system. Here are the SmallRig parts: 1. DH10 Heavy Duty Tripod Fluid Head 2. 5" Quick Release Plate for Manfrotto 3. Universal 15mm Rail Support System 4. Adjustable Lens Bracket 5. Two 15mm x 8" carbon fiber rods SmallRig parts are an industry standard and simply stated, they are high quality, durable, and economical. You can't go wrong with SmallRig parts for your camera needs! Now, I can rest assured that the camera and lens are properly supported when I attach the Elgato Prompter to the camera lens.

A high quality tripod and tripod head make all the difference when shooting any important video things where you might be doing some panning. This head is super easy to setup, its very smooth panning, and the handle is super adjustable for how you want it. Its a great size as well which can handle a smaller size digital camera up to a large video cam with ease.

USed it for a D850, Z30 and FX6. Smooth and supportive. I have a leveling adapter so very quick set up. Would be great if it would also accommodate a narrower plate.

Replaced a ball head that had a hard time locking down a 200-600 lens, this head has no problem. Pan adjustment collar was pretty stiff, but loosened it enough for a smooth pan.

I have owned this now for a few months. Works excellent ! Built like a tank. It is very fluid. Well packaged. My only knock is it is a little heavy, but that may be the nature of the beast. Holds my very heavy 200mm to 800mm telephoto lens on my Canon.
