Swarovski BTX tripod head recommendation

[JMM1990]

Hey Rokslide,
I just got a Swarovski BTX 85mm. I need some help finding a new pan head that can handle the weight. Please let me know if you have any suggestions! Currently running the Tricer AD tripod.

Sirui VA5X will handle it if you want to keep it Arca Swiss and a little lighter. A VH10 would be even better. For the money I think theyre very very hard to beat.

Tricer BP was my least favorite head I’ve ever used, especially with a BTX/95 on it.

I had a Siruin VA5 a few years ago. I had some issues with the old plate lock but looks light the VA5X is different now. I will take a look at the VH10.
Thanks for the response!

I use a VH10 on my BTX. it has two screws in the plate, helps it from spinning

I use a VH10 for a BTX 95 without any problems. I tried my VA5 and it worked ok but the VH10 handles it better.
