The discription states "Full ball-bearing support in tilt axis." What is used to support the pan axis?

There is no bearing for the pan axis. I have to say it is not that smooth. It gets the job done. It however is not like the expensive ones. My friend has has a really nice gimbal head I forget then brand but it cost like 560 smackers. It is a dream compared to mine. I however only have at current a 300mm f/4. He has a 600mm f/4 and if weights as much as a small child. So he needs the ball bearing pan. I can get away with it. Just depends on what lens you will be using.

I don't know about ball bearing, but is very smooth with good tension control

Yes it is ball bearing! It runs quiet and the wheels are true! Very little vibration if any!

Botom connect with a normal plate to a tripod.if you wish to tilt or pan you definitely need an articulation of some sort so the answer is yes.

Sorry we have been so late in answering. We have been on vacation. What are full extension ball bearings? I will check for you?

Just pans 1 axis, there is no motorized tit, just an adjustment like a normal tripod

Pan has small, maybe 1/2 inch extensions on each end that can be used to support the pan for lifting and moving. (They are somewhat oval.)

yap. basically i don't need bearing guide. because i've 35mm flushtrim bit. but sometimes(I spent lots of time..) couldn't find that bit. at that time bearing guide usage in work.if you want use tilt base, should be prepare guide bar(it any kind straight thing).i hope you doing well.

50 degrees is the pan width straight out from center. The image is fixed. . No pan or tilt. IR is fairly strong and lights up the area pretty far out.

The situation in which I used the supports was on a hinged counter top, so there was no lateral movement. I had to be certain that the two surfaces were at 90 degrees, but the supports were at true 90 degrees.

Thank you. I am going to make a table to work it on that can tilt a little so I dont have to have it flat all the time, thanks for the info.

Sorry LBJ, It's just a pillow. Though one side of the handle is shallower than the other, making your device sit down lower or higher...but I think that they mean it will ROLL to any angle. There is no support suspension built in or anything. If your sitting up, or at a table, use the deep side of the handle. Laying down, use the shallow side. That's about it.

My guess is you may possibly could use another swivel plate for a ball head. There already is a spring loaded dual threads on the top of the plate.Would depend on the type of ball head you have. I hope this may answer your question.

The whole thing is built like this: a shoe mount is attached to a ball mount attached to a claw-like phone mount. You can rotate the whole thing around the shoe mount, full 360. The ball mount can pivot up to roughly 45 off center, and rotate a full 360. The ball mount is 90 off the shoe mount, this lets you rotate a full 360 in both the x and/or y axis. Hope all that makes sense

in it's description it says that has support but I never used so I can't tell you for sure.

If you're talking about towing with the actual "ball" you will need to look at your trailer. it will usually either be 1-7/8" or 2" ball but make sure to get the 7/8" shank (threaded part). If you're talking about the Ball Mount. it should be supplied with one. When I bought mine, it did not come with it. So I bought one at home depot. If you need more info, just lemme know! I have this setup on my civic and im also an auto tech. -Dan

Beware.!!! I purchased this item and it is useless because it does not come with the vertical supports needed.
