This is the BEST video tripod head for the money!

I purchased the Leofoto LS-324CEX with the BV-10 head and later the Sirui VH-10X. Conclusion: The BV-10 is best suited for studio photographers because the head can be locked completely, making it very stable but difficult to control if micro-adjustments are needed. The VH-10X, on the other hand, is ideal for videographers and photographers as it is highly sensitive and smooth. It can also be locked in place, although not as tightly as the BV-10, meaning slight movement is still possible. Comparison while using with Nikon P1000: BV-10, capturing a flying plane is almost impossible to do accurately, as even the slightest movement causes noticeable jumps. VH-10X glides smoothly, making it easy to track and focus on a flying plane with precision.

The issue with low cost video heads is that most of them have either no-counterbalance or a counterbalance mechanism that is very limited. A good basic video head should have an adjustable counterbalance that matches the weight of the cameras you will shoot with.

It is all a matter of price - as always. Adjustable counterbalance is very nice to have and makes a lot of sense, but you will not find this feature with a fluid head of the VH-10X's price and size. I also use and like this fine head on a massive Sirui monopod. For tripod work I prefer the E-Image GH06F that has an adjustable counterbalance. The GH06F head is much bigger, much heavier and costs a lot more money than the Sirui VH-10X. There is no free luch.

@@frankthoma6764 The cheapest adjustable fluid head is the Benro S6Pro fluid head that has 6 increments of adjustment and costs $225 US. Not the best, but it's a starting point.

I have it, and it's just out of the world

Looks like a reworked Smallrig V10 head. Also sold as a Cayer K10 Pro at a lower price. The latter works really well with my Sony AR4, Sony 100-400 GM lens combination.

I found all the hand gestures very distracting in the video. How does it compare to Leophoto and is it Arca Swiss compatible?

[@pastuh]

I think it use Manfrotto plates..

[@TexpatOTG]

Too bad​@@pastuh

[@pastuh]

after investigation, it use bp90 quick release plate so its possible to attach on top arca-swiss plate

[@TexpatOTG]

@@pastuh Thanks for the follow-up

[@Globetrotter-1]

Not exactly uniquie. Most of this head is copied from the Manfrotto, including the Manfrotto 501 QR plate.
