Working primarily in New York, I try to pack as lightly as possible on public transit. I got this head for a lighter tripod rig that weighs less and packs less than my main rig (Sachtler Ace XL on Miller CF sticks). This Komodo head on Sirui N-3204x alignment rods provides just enough tension for smooth pan and tilt for my minimal GH5 setup (movcam cage, 8" 15mm rods, rose grips, small shoulder pad, SmallHD Focus) . The pan tension is high for my full rig, but the counterweight isn't enough for that (which is to be expected since my rig is at max weight capacity). It's still possible to get smooth slopes, you just have to be careful. When I disassemble my rig to lighten the load, everything runs smoothly. I usually take my Komodo/Sirui setup with me when doing mostly seated interviews. Overall, it's the perfect combination of portability and functionality at a good price.
