Title: Smooth tilt and pan head plus slider.
Post by: Dakota on March 02, 2016, 06:51

I'm looking to buy a smooth tilt and pan head for my GH4? I have the Manfrotto 701HD but when I pan with this I get jerky footage. I have read this is a GH4 issue, Im not too sure if its the GH4 or head that causes this jerkiness?

Also can anyone recommend a quality slider, Im looking to buy one with smooth transition, does that mean a motorised one?

Thanks for tips.

I am into same research for my RX10 MK2. I have few options. I guess Manfrotto MV500 AH Fluid head is a good choice with good price. As slider, there are 2 options. First one is small, compact, easy to use and carry but expensive. I'm talking about edelkrone slider plus pro. Price is about 700$. On the other hand Konova K2 Slider is about 200$ but big, heavy, not easy to use or carry. You need 2 tripods etc.. However, test results of both sliders look OK.
