CJCMarquez Cream of the Crop  More info | Nov 06, 2012 15:40 | #1 I'm having trouble looking for a good panhead. I'm about to buy Manfrotto 055XPROB legs but still need a head. I'm looking for a pan head because I use my camera for videos sometimes as does my sister. My price range would probably be $50-$100. May be open to spending more. Chad or CJ

Not good at all for video unless you intend to set it, press record and never move it while recording. Then I guess you could make it or any other head work. [Gear List | Flickr
