I added my own Manfrotto video head. Overall this is a really great addition to my camera support inventory! Smooth action thanks to the built-in head in the base. In addition I had a Zacuto Baseplate, gh4 with Speed Booster and Sigma 18-35 Art Lens, smallHD 702 Bright, Rode Video Pro Microphone and Heavy Duty Follow Focus. . Overall, the installation was quite difficult, but held up great!
