The SmallRig 3457 video fluid head physical specs:
It is made from Aluminium alloy and it has a high build quality feel to it.
It weighs 512 grams, and has a load capacity of 5 kg.
It is 10.4 cm tall.
The bottom base diameter is 4.6 cm,
Quick Release Plate
and the top plate is 5 cm long by 3.8 cm wide.
The quick release plate is Arca Swiss compatible and has two 1/4" 20 screws that can be tightened by hand without the need for additional tools. But they can also be tightened using the supplied Allen key wrench, or any flat screwdriver.
It is possible to remove the screws from the release plate if you want to only use a single screw. All you have to do is to move the screw to the end of the plate and unscrew it until it comes out.
The quick release plate has two small protrusions which should stop the camera from falling forward or backward if the release plate isn’t fully tightened however the protrusions on the release plate are very small and the notches on the clamp section are very shallow so I am not convinced that they will function as a security mechanism. Also when I compare this to the Ulanzi U-190 fluid head, it definitely appears to be less safe.
Mount rotation/pan
and on the opposite side is the mount rotation adjustment screw which allows you to lock or loosen the rotation tension in order to rotate the mount so that you can mount your camera in any direction which is required depending on the release plate or cage that is being used.
The mount rotation can also be used for panning even though this is not its primary function.
Mount slide
The mount slide lock which lets you move the mount section of the video head backward or forward to adjust the balance for centre of gravity. This is an easy way to adjust the balance after the camera has already been mounted.
There is an accessory mount which has a 1/4''-20 threaded hole for attaching devices such as lights, microphones or anything else with a magic arm.
Tilt lock allows tilt forward or backward. Fluid head can tilt from -60 degrees to +90 degrees so 90 degrees forward and 60 degrees backward.
The tilt lever is a friction lock so there isn’t sufficient control for adjusting the tilt tension.
Pan
360 degree panning is supported on the fluid head, and there are two panning sections:
One for rotating the mount section which includes the clamp section with the release plate. This is primarily used for adjusting the location and orientation of the clamp section for the quick release plate and the camera, which provides flexibility if you are using a cage, or a release plate which needs to be mounted in a different orientation.
Panning section at the bottom base of the fluid head is used for the panning motion shooting video. Both the mount rotation section and the pan section have markings for 360 degrees, with a visible line for every 5 degrees and a visible numeric value for every 15 degrees.
The bubble spirit level can be used to make sure the fluid head is levelled correctly.
Telescoping Handle Grip
The handle rotation adjustment lever allows you to set the angle of the handle and lock it in place.
The handle grip angle can be adjusted but the handle is completely straight unlike most handle grips which have a grip section that is slightly bent at an angle for easier holding.
It is a telescoping handle which means it can be extended or collapsed as necessary.
It is 31 cm long when extended and 13.5 cm when collapsed.
