Review 1 of 3

Price Paid: $50.00 from K-Mart

Summary:

I saw it at Kmart. Had to get it. I wanted a smooth rolling fluid head. Does nice, but sometimes that motion is jiggly. My old on could fit in my shotgun microphone case. This one doesn't.

Strengths:

Smooth rolling head.

Weaknesses:

Doesn't fit into small places.

Similar Products Used:

Uncle Larry's shotgun boom.
