So far it does...the tripod is very light though...read not steady at all....I would never put 8 lbs on it, but for a GH5 or 4 with reasonable lenses it works...I tried a sandbag on the little hook but the legs start slipping...but you can level the tripod on the fluid head and when holding your breath get a decent short pan...for portabilty it is unbeatable (folds to only 16.5 inches in length) and is just the right weight while hanging on the camera as a low counterweight for a walking shot...personally though, I don't move cameras much, so for travel, this works for me.
Hey, I'd like to ask a strange question to understand better but I need replies from guys who use monopod. For make video is it better to use a monopod with 3 small legs and the greased ball at base and only a plate for a GH5 or is it better a normal monopod without 3 small legs and the greased ball but with a small fluid head?
