I”m posting becouse this thread pops up on Google. 2 years have gone since you opened this thread but we are still limited to these options: Manfrotto Befree MVH400AH = 370 gram, <90$ Sirui VA-5 = 530 gram, 150$ FEISOL VH-40 = 600 gram, 135$ Benro S2 = 400 gram, 80$ iFootage Komodo K5 = 700gr, 159$ To be honest none of them provide superb smooth fluid pan and tilt. If you want superb smooth pan and tilt for affordable price I would recommend Komodo K7, which is till hard to get. if you want something very lightweight and which makes pan and tilt easier, I recommend Manfrotto BeFree. It’s not superbly smooth bat smooth enough for average fast mobile video production. I have used it with tripods and monopods as well and even if it isn’t the most perfect you will get get better video with your very lightweight equipment. if you need superb smooth pan and tilt you shal use a lot heavier equipment or alternatively to use some motorised video head, which might be even better solution than any video head mentioned above.
