Also not cheap, but the best, is Cammate system's head. Simply amazing. I used to own and operate a Cammate camera crane / jib. www.cammate.com

I have used this head quite a few times and it works very well and is built well. I'd definitely consider this over the over-priced Varizoom unit:

Hmm, half the price compared to the varizom. Looks like a good build aswell. Any one else that have tried it out?

Their Reatract System looks amazing! I'll take three!
On a side note...how come the majority of film and video equipment companies have such terrible videos? I mean most of them are pathetic. Boggles the mind. I know most of the people that build these things aren't filmmakers, but damn...you're selling highend film gear...you would expect great demo videos.

I just bought a PT 20 for my Kessler and will let you know, but the research I did on it showed nothing but positive reviews.

Cammate used to have some nice footage of what their crane would do on their site, but it appears to be down at the moment.
Brian,
I look forward to your repots as I just bought a Kessler Crane and would like to upgrade to a remote head once the budget allows. The PT20 is the one that looks like the best deal for the money but I am anxious to hear some real world experience with it and the Kessler.
