Is this good for video shooting and mounting video rigs?

I've had this tripod for a while now. Rest assured it is extremely stable and precise. However if your video set up its too heavy you might want to ask your friends about it. I just handle landscape and slr related pictures not much video.

Yes and no. Yes it is very stable and strong, it will support your rig. The no part is this, I would put a fluid video head on it for a smoother movement. I have used the included head for video and it works. A fluid head works a tad bit smoother. I love this tripod, it is the one of my four that I use the most.

Yes I use mine to hold a monitor. I use mine on a tripod but I see no reason why it wouldn't work on a steadycam rig.

I use this with a Ride Video Mic Pro with good results, but given this has no mounting screw so you would end up with kind of a mount on a mount, it seems to me the H4N should weigh too much and lack the flexible mounting necessary to keep noise to a minimum.

I agree with the other people who answered the question. I purchased multiple sets so that all of my cameras, tripods, handheld brackets, etc. are compatible for mounting. The cost is minimal and these things work great!

It has a 1/4-20 thread, so if your camera has that mount, you are good to go. As for a longer are, I suppose you could. It would just have more vibration into your video.

You can use it for video if you set the tension so that it will move without activating the trigger grip. It is not an ideal head for shooting video. For video a head with a panning arm will work better. Fluid heads are ideal for video.

Yes, you can mount on a tripod. I do it all the time. Yes it records native 1080p but 24 fps (not 30 or 60 fps). No idea if a Rode VideoMic works or not.

Yes, I have no problem mounting the rig on my tripod. I don't do it often, but I've had no problem when I did.

I'm not sure.You can always buy a shoe mount for the mic for the top of the camera.If you're just looking to mount the mic on the rig only then i suggest typing the rig brand name then add mic pole

This is for bowl style video tripods. It's probably not suited for what you're trying to do.

ABSOLUTELY...you'll have to mount it on something though. It's not really meant for holding, though I guess you could. This is great for hands free videoing.

I believe that will work! Just for the safety aspic I may look at adding that set up to my rig. Thanks for the idea..!

It will work fine for both of those rigs. I have some, very similar on mine at the moment, and it sure helps with that storage problem.

That depends..... I would not risk it. If all you intend to do is highly controlled studio work, with little chance of untoward events, perhaps. I wanted something to use in covering college sports, to get a different angle of view, and am happy. However, I use mine exclusively for micro four-thirds cameras, and it works very well. The suction cup on the bottom of the center post is an extra stabilizing factor, but my big Nikons were too large for me to trust one to this.

To be honest, I haven't used it for that too much. I have done some music editing, and it seems to work just fine. I use my tower at home for most of my video work, this is just a travel machine.

Yes t works very well for video, just make sure you know your buttons before you go under.

Yoy would be fine, if memory serves youd have away good inch and a half to mount too.
