Does this have smooth tilts too? Or does it only pan? Thanks :D

The Velbon PH-368 is a fluid head which has smooth panning and tilting action.

It goes up and down and side to side, and very smooth... not jumpy, very good head for the price, we use ours for hunting up in a tree, its been out in all kinds of weather and still preforms awesome!

It pans and tilts pretty good but its very poor construction and its not durable at all. I would not recommend it for anything remotely professional. Spend the little extra $$ and get a better one.

No,you cannot control pan and tilt with the PC. The camera body attaches to the clamp/base with a ball-and-socket joint.This allows you to make some small adjustments by hand.

No it doesn't tilt. Sturdy in one place. There are a lot of holes for the legs - it made my tv very tall which I like because I have a low table.

No tilt. You connect it & that's that. No movement whatsoever in any direction. Very balanced base though.

No it is not. It is better than the tilt one. That tilt one the bowl breaks free when you use to knead dough. If you see the arm that holds the bowl it is the better more $$$$ non tilt one. This one has a lever that lowers and raises the bowl. Iv e had both and this one is worth the extra money.

The tilt is around 180°, very adjustable. It stays in place. And yes, there is something like a knob to adjust.

Yes, it is smooth. We have gas burners but I don't think it would scratch glass. Pan is not pretty but is very well made with heavy bottom and great non stick surface.

Dear, feel free to contact us, most time the PAN/TILT is soomthly, have you heard any sound when camera pan/tilt rotation?

I believe it is smooth. I am very happy with it. I have a 19year old with kidney disease that pees A LOT, and it stays inside the box. I actually bought a 2nd identical pan as we have 3 cats.

Nope. Panning and tilting is all manual. I keep mine on to of the monitor so it's right there for adjusting.

It tilts up and down. It does not move up and down vertically. I recommend this product. It works well for me.

Mine can definitely tilt. It sounds like yours is either defective or the hinge is just really tight! (some pictures for proof: http://imgur.com/a/MAN8L )

Head is easily adjustable....but does NOT have smooth pan...even when using rubber band (elastic)..

Yes, Brad, it does tilt. It tilts from vertical to 5.5 degrees down to 22 degrees up.

Panning is rough if the knobs are too tight, but if you keep them loose, it will work, but it requires balance, meaning that to achieve ideal smooth panning, the knobs on this tripod have to be so lose that the weight of the camera might cause the angle to tilt if not supported constantly by your hand. Balance can be achieved, but it will not measure up to a $200 tripod.

Does not tilt - just goes up and down. The mechanism for the up & down action isn't super robust either - kinda slides up and down even after the knob has been firmly tightened (slick plastic clamp on slick metal tubes). This is not a really great quality seat - pretty low quality Chinese product - but it is cheap so can't expect too much. Good luck.

No, it does not tilt. Once you tighten it down that's the position it will remain in.
