Finally, an actually tutorial for a tripod that shows off proper counter balance. After all of those KZitemrs demoed the nitro tech Manfrotto tripod back when it came out and no one understood its main feature. A stepless counter balance adjustment, I almost lost it.

It's a good idea, Carl. Sensible pragmatic advice for newcomers. Should bring in some more customers. It's not just price - although that's important - but also good customer support that matters and I've always had that from ProAV. Gives the firm a 'head' start! BobUK.

Thanks for your useful video. Cartoni tripods have the best balance system, I find.

Hi folks. After ProAV advice I bought the Manfrotto 438 for my C200 (both from ProAV). It's a mid range head but with variable counterbalance and is working nicely. Not too heavy for me to carry about. BobUK.

THANK YOU ! Great video and right to the point I have a manfrotto nitrotech n8 once set i am enjoying it. Took a while to set because I did not have initial balance set.

Just got the FSB8+Flowtech 75 combo. Coming from the Manfrotto 502, I must say, it is so nice to have a proper counterbalanced fluid head. My C200 and blackmagic rigs are much happier haha.

Really helpful. More to add to my shopping list. I hope this is the first of many videos to help me fill in some important gaps in my knowledge like the demo of the sandbags done by you on the lighting course. So I am now in the market for the best value counterbalance head and of course from ProAV.

Recently bought the GH06 from you. The GH06 is impossible to balance due to the steps. I cannot use 0 and neither 1 (too much counterbalance) with my setup, so how much weight do one need for level 1?

Would you recommend the likes of a Manfrotto 504 head for a Blackmagic USRSA Mini rig, or would the level of counterbalance in that kind of head be insufficient for such a payload?

Another great video with helpful advise. I have recently been wondering about my tripod spreader mechanism and how to use it best. Do you have a video on this? Thank You
@ProAVTV

Glad it helped. No video on spreaders specifically i'm afraid. Spreaders are very simple though, they simply keep your legs the same distance apart as you move the tripod around. Ground spreaders are only really useful on flat surfaces like indoors. Mid spreaders are more practical for most situations. Most of them you can extend as well, which means when your legs are at their shortest length, you can get the camera slightly closer to the ground. Carl

That's good Carl Thanks, By the way it was a hard depression to make but I went with the z90 Sony as opposed to the canon 405. Those videos were great too. Sony can thank you for that sale. Tom

Thanks for the video. For use with light cameras, which head has the lowest level of counterbalance, in other words will work well with the lightest cameras while still offering counterbalance? Thanks.

There’s lots of choice! Have a look at the E-Image gh06 which I used in this video. Or maybe the Sachtler Ace XL Carl

I use a carbon fibre Kenro tripod for my GH5, but its been giving me issues alot. What do you recommend for a GH5, cage, Atomos Ninja V, XLR1 adaptor and Sigma 18-35mm lens? I need a smooth video head, but legs strong enough to hold all that.

I'd probably go for the E-Image GH06 like the one I use in this video: www.proav.co.uk/e-image-gh06-761at-aluminium-tripod-system Carl
