I've just bought a Velbon CX686 from Bintel for $165.00 which I am thrilled with. It has the oil-filled fluid pan head which enables you to slew around with liquid-smooth motion. Tension adjustments allow you to overcome poorly-balanced camera/lens combinations such that you can slew to a position and let go - the camera remains in that position. Nice. Also great for video work if you ever need it.
The pan head features a quick-release top plate so that you can leave these attached to you several cameras or whatever and quickly swap them in and out as required without constantly unscrewing everything.
A good unit which is very steady at full extension yet also light enough to throw over you shoulder in its bag and walk around town on a photographic session.
Rated at 2.8kg - which I've pushed to 4kg at times without hassle..
Cheers
Chris
