This has become my favorite tripod head and I’m actually surprised that more people on here have gone over to it. Had the VA-5 and sold all of them and replaced them with these cause I liked them so much.

Leofoto Ranger BV-1

Leofoto Ranger BV-1 Video Head

Rob's new favorite video head for 65mm and larger spotting scopes, the BV-1 has been tested and approved for backcountry use. The Leofoto BV-1 weighs in around 14oz and handles 65-80mm spotting scopes very well. It has a spring loaded counter balance and fluid tension vertical and very smooth...

What did you like better about the leofoto vs sirui?

Man if weight wasn't an issue and you didnt care about ARCA compatibility I would go with something like a benro s4 or a manfrotto head. I bought a va5 after hearing you guys go on about them and its a significant step down in smoothness and user friendliness from my benro s4. It is, however, significantly smaller and lighter.

Totally agree with this! I used the Benro S4 for years. After reading on here how great the VA5 was I decided to get one for a second setup. I was super disappointed. I ended up selling it and getting another S4. Problem is, I don't think Benro makes it anymore.
