I’ve gone through three different compact-size fluid video tripod head and all of them were very disappointed. Now that I have the K&F compact fluid head, my search is finally over! The problems with the previous three fluid heads were the fact that the horizontal rotation were not very smooth and consistent. This is not great for doing panning shots for landscape videos. The problem I find with the previous fluid heads is that they use some sort of sticky substance to create a sense of friction in the horizontal pan. Unfortunately, the sticky substance that those fluid head uses don’t provide a smooth action and gives inconsistent friction depending on where you are in the rotation. Moreover, the fluid used in the vertical rotation makes the panning feel very stiff, making it very difficult to pan.

The K&F fluid tripod head seem to solve all of the problems that my three previous fluid head struggle with. The horizontal panning feels very smooth and consistent through all 360 degrees. The vertical rotation also feels very smooth with very consistent friction. Most impressive part is that the counter force created by the fluid friction is almost the same in both vertical and horizontal rotation. This makes it SUPER easy to do diagonal panning that looks smooth and consistent.

If I could give this product more than 5-stars, I would just for the fact that this product has ended my frustrating search for a compact-fluid tripod head. Now that my search is over, I can focus on creating great videos instead of fighting with less-than-stellar gear. Highly recommended.
