Smooth movement but not very viscous
The FH-01 is very well made and pans smoothly in both directions. This is the third and best lightweight tripod head I have tried. I will be using it to hold a medium weight spotting scope. It has spring based counterbalance that is not adjustable and not strong enough to counterbalance my scope so additional friction from the tilt lock is needed to prevent it from moving spontaneously when not level. The added friction smoothly gives way when trying to pan but the viscosity of the fluid friction is very low which make it harder to make very fine movements. This would not be an issue for many photo and video applications. I have larger, and heavier, tripod heads in the same price range that have a more viscous fluid motion that makes them more pleasant to use.
