Does it have smooth, fluid panning control?

No, it's not the fluid head, so not smooth enought if you are looking it for the video spanning.

This kind of balle heads are for photo, not for video, cmon! Video head always will have an arm.

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it for lots of video, there are better tripod heads with a pan-handle (haha) that make panning smoother. Once you lock the ball with the two knobs, there is a separate knob that controls rotation, and it tells you the degrees (0-360), so you can take panoramic photos. You loosen the rotation knob and can pan, it does feel smooth, and could be used if you will do occasional videos. If you are taking a lot of videos, I would get something made more for videos.

You can manually tilt the camera up and down where u need to minitor, but no, does not have pan (or pan and tilt remotely) like some others.

Panning is rough if the knobs are too tight, but if you keep them loose, it will work, but it requires balance, meaning that to achieve ideal smooth panning, the knobs on this tripod have to be so lose that the weight of the camera might cause the angle to tilt if not supported constantly by your hand. Balance can be achieved, but it will not measure up to a $200 tripod.

I have had several ball heads and this is absolutely this best value. The panning is smooth but it is not a video head that is designed to pan.

Yes it does. A very sophisticated image stabilization. It can be set in 4 different modes:1.Off2. Auto (both horizontal & vertical stabilization)3. Vertical only for up and down movements4. Horizontal only for panning horizontally.Trust this helps.

I have one. It is VERY smooth and you can zoom from camera or the handle and you can program the speed of the zoom. Fast on camera, slow on handle. NICE NICE NICE

I T's not the best but yes it can . As far as panning left to right up and down it's a little stiff.But for the price I guess it's worth it

Yes it automatically oils. It also oils rapidly and uses oil quickly. It has no adjustment for oil flow.

Mine doesn't either, if there is a color change it is subtle at best. Still, a great pan for the money.

You just simply tighten down the set screws on the bottom of the head. That makes it pan smoother.

NO, you can set the friction level to hold any position you want, yet still adjust the monitor.

Yes it does have that feature, that is the primary reason to purchase this camera. It has a auto pan feature as well as manual controls using the swann ap on your smart device.

It's smooth. This is such an incredible duvet that I have 4 friends who have bought it and copied me!

It is capable of both. It has a small button behind the wheel, that allows you to choose your preference. I like the smooth fluid feel myself.

It does ok. For stiil photgrahy. If you are looking for video use and panning or moving around its nt to smooth.

Yes, it is smooth. I purchased this cake pan as a mold for my Granddaughter's soap-making.

No "clicking" but a smooth intuitive turn of the control knob. No problem unless you crave the feed back.
