SmallRig Vertical Video Head (EP.136)

I needed a better solution to switch between 16:9 and 9:16 shooting with a mirrorless camera. I think this small video head from SmallRig might just be the ticket!

I'll buy this head because I've been looking for the head which can be rotated.
Thank you for reviewing!

Can you recommend a tripod which matches to this head?

I appreciate this review. I learned more about the product watching your video vs amazons description.

When Arri released a "Tech Talk" back in May dedicated to shooting in 9:16, I almost fell off my stool.

I still remember a vivid backlash to vertical video several years ago...and now we have dedicated tripod heads 🤣🤣🤣 Do your Tik Tok dances boys and girls vertical video isn't going anywhere
