I visited the Miller booth to speak with Gus Harilou about their new Cineline 70 fluid head.

Cartoni was nice enough to stop by a few days ago with their new Master Mk2 Fluid Head, so I decided to give it a thorough once-over.

We stopped by the OConnor booth to check out their latest products, including their updated 1030D head. The 1030D has an impressive counterbalance system that gives accurate balance at any point of the tilt range. It will also counterbalance down to zero, which is great when working with lighter-weight camera systems.

It may seem like a simple topic, but a properly balanced fluid head is a necessity for getting that perfect shot. The process of balancing a camera on a fluid head can be quite simple, or rather time consuming, depending on your camera setup.

Manfrotto has introduced its latest fluid head - the 504HD. This 75MM ball fluid head features the FDS variable friction system, while pana and tilt resistance is quick and intuitive.
