Our take on the Velbon FHD51QN Video Tripod Head

by Woody Sherman

This lightweight, three-way fluid tripod head has all move-smoothing capability of a larger tripod head in a compact package. It's perfect for holding lighter-weight video and still cameras weighing up to 5.5 pounds. It features a quick-release plate so you can quickly go hand-held, a spring counter-balance system for enhanced stability, and an on-board bubble level so your setup will feature an even horizon. Fluid heads are a must for professional-looking video camera moves.

While this unit works with many other tripods, it is an ideal mate for our Velbon Sherpa+ 530 tripod.
