How do you pan if it does not have a handle to do video?

Your previous answers are all good. I find that I have excellent results if I put just a small amount of drag on the ball and it works as well as if you have a handle. I didn't care for it at first but I don't even think anything of it by now plus, it's easier to fold when you put it away.

The rotary is geared for a smooth pan motion despite the fact that it does not have a handle. You just need to use the camera itself; I find that by gently pulling the camera strap from side to side you can get a smooth pan. It would definitely be better if it did have a handle, especially for adjusting the ball head.

This is not a video tripod, I only use it for photographs. Here is what you should be looking for: Dolica AX680P104 68-Inch Proline Tripod and Pan Head.

That's a good question. I honestly don't know how you would if you are a serious video guy, but if you are an average person doing video, you would probably be just find using one of the knows to turn it. The pan is very easy to turn, but still stiff at the same time.

I have a popper that has a handle that stirs the popcorn as it cooks. I don't see why you couldn't just use a pan. You would have to shake it as it pops to keep the kernels from burning, but that is what you do anyway. I really would recommend the popper. I love mine. My daughter gave us one after I tried hers. She's had hers for over 10 years and it is seasoned so she uses no oil when she pops the corn - a healthier way, but you son't get the Theater popcorn doing it that way. Sorry for the long answer. I ope it helps.

Yes. It also has image stabilization, so your videos will playback smooth, even when you pan manually. Pretty impressive video for such a small camera.

My pan doesn't have anything on the side. I don't know what that is, unless it's some photographic anomaly.

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.

If you mean flipping w/o a spatula or some other utensil, it wouldn't work - the pan is too heavy.

Just step on the mop fiber close to the plastic head and bend the handle to the left or right. Google Dyno mop and scroll down to see a demo. :)

Panning horizontal and vertical is what this does. You can see me using these in my videos from You Tube on Finding New Neighbors. I have a lot of samples on there. Your camera would have no problem on this jib crane. I have the 8' and the 4'. Both work great! I use them every week filming houses as a real estate broker.

If you have the room, you can spin this in circles. Pans very smooth and what I do is I hold on to the camera side and do my pans.

You have to move back and forth to make a pan or any other camera movement because the camera is hardly fixed on a point of the stabilizer. This stabilizer will help to distribute the weight of the camera because you can "rest on it"... I've been able to hold the camera for hours without having back pain, I've achieved cleaner pans and better control of functions of the lens/camera.

only by hand. If your looking for a camera that can pan tilt and zoom these are no the ones. But you can rotate them.

You need a plastic clip or plyers covered in cloth. The back pops apart like a seam and then you can pivot it off frame

In auto it will pan but not slow enough for time-lapse. Aprox. 20 sec. to do a 90deg. and back.

You can look up YouTube videos for it :) You hold it in an upside down "U" shape and then turn the handles in opposing directions (towards each other, I believe)

Yes. the ball head is removable and replaceable. However, the ball head can be locked in the vertical position and can pan horizontally. This works quite well for shooting panoramas. There is no panning handle though.

Probably not the best one for panning since it doesn't have a handle for it, I use mine on a monopod.

You could unscrew the ball head and replace it with a pan head, but I doubt that you will be able to fully close the assembly to the same compact form that you get with the ball head.The portability of this tripod/head is usually one of the main reasons people buy it. You could always mount and unmounts the head for transport.
