Will this head be good for video work?

I just use in on a monopod. It is quite substantial in weight and bulk, though not overly so. A quality piece of equipment, but I think anything with a quarter-twenty attachment will work fine.

If you are only looking for tilt head only it should work fine. You may be better off with a ball head that will tilt and pan right and left. I use this Oben on my monopod w/ a tele lens for shooting sports and have been very happy with it.

No, this head is primarily for an SLR and is great for monopods and tripods, but I wouldn't try to use for video work.

It's best for video but works for photo. It's a little too clunky to be versatile in all photography applications which is why I own a smaller three-way head I can throw on the same legs whenever I need to do exclusively photography work.

Yes I do recommend a head for this tripod. I researched the heads at the Manfrotto website and was a big help in me deciding what head to purchase.

If you plan on doing basic stuff with your computer you should be fine with the integrated video it has, BUT... if you plan on using Photoshop, editing or gaming, you should buy a video card. ( I'm a harcore gamer and i got this motherboard + EVGA GTX 670... It's a beast <3)

Not good enough for shooting video and wanting it to be perfect...it is a cheap tripod...good for the price but do not try to get the performance of a pro-quality tripod out of this one. It all works. It is a great tripod for the price.

The short answer, yes. The head is extremely strong and stable. The screw down knob allows for pretty heavy weight. I use it for my Canon 7D with multiple lens' and weights.

Yes as long as they are about the size of a good tripod, it would be perfect I would say and make life a lot easier for you, not good for video at all tho.

It should. I have only used it for video, but as steady as it is, I can't forsee any problems.

Yes, but that's not enough information to provide a recommendation. Most different heads will fit onto most different tripods, but that doesn't mean they're all matched appropriately to the load and to each other.

Yes this will work. Although I have had small issues with it shutting off after 10-15 minutes of videos on a few occasions.

For music it works well. Might not be as good with videos depending on the volume of the movie, video, etc..

This head is very well built, I've used it with my Sigma Ex 150 mm macro lenses mounted on my Canon 70D without any issue, I think you will like this head

The top plate might work. But the bottom will only work if you mount it into the top plate of the video head.

Yes!!! That's one of my favorite things about this monopod. I had no idea it did that when I bought it haha but it's an amazing head. It can make you a lot of money!

This head is specifically designed for use on systems with low pressure. It will work well on systems with high pressure as well. There should be no reason to modify it.

Yes. But video quality isnt very good. If moving with it, any video quality will be jagged and choppy.

I wouldn't. The head moves easily but for video, you really need the pan handle for fluidity. Otherwise, trying to pan would create jerky movements.
