Camera accessory maker SmallRig has released a new lightweight fluid head for video shooters. Dubbed simply as ‘SmallRig Lightweight Fluid Video Head 3457’, this new support will help smooth out panning motion without adding a lot of weight to your kit. Let’s take a closer look at what it can do. Many hybrid stills/video camera shooters rely on support equipment that was originally intended for still photography. Even though a photo head can support the weight of a hybrid camera like the Canon R5 C, they were only designed to keep the camera in one place. Once we add motion into the mix, a stills tension head or ball head becomes less than ideal. Without resistance to dampen and smooth out the operators movement, we end up with pans and tilts that start and end with a noticeable jerky motion.

This is exactly what the SmallRig Lightweight Fluid Video Head offers at an affordable price.
