Does this monopod tilt AND pan? From what I understand it does both but I have also heard it doesn't? Thanks!

Yes it tilt and pan but it is not smooth when panning. It got a tux sound that generate up to the camera and it's audio. I would not recommend.

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

No, this camera has no pan / tilt capability. It does have a digital zoom function.

Hey there. First you should know I wound up returning my Jib. The head locked and I wasn't able to use it anymore. How long have you been using it? Have you had any issues with it being hard to pan or tilt? To answer your question.The release plate for the Manfrotto 501 is DIFFERENT from the one on the jib arm.

My wife and I do use the pan & tilt feature (not so much with zoom) on a fairly consistent basis. The camera is wall mounted and our little one tends to "drift" while sleeping in her crib. Without the ability to pan/tilt the camera a lot of times we'd be staring at her feet, or if she rotates in the crib, absolutely nothing at all.

Nah. It doesn't. I matched up the mount on my tripod so i don't have to fiddle with stuff during a shoot. I use one of those fluid manfrotto trigger heads. The trigger makes it quick to position and then start shooting. The tilt and panning heads take an extra step to tighten the joints. Trigger's better.

Yes. It allows tilt up & down as well as swivel side to side. I am happy with my purchase. It is secure with a very heavy DSLR attached.Bet of luck~

No it does not tilt but what I do found out this type of model does not convert to channels overseas.

It does swivel & tilt. I don't I have a different Panasonic camera (4/3) and it works.

You will only be able to tilt our pan camera angle if you attach a video head to crane. That also mean you will operate camera from the camera end of the crane in order to tilt or pan. Not from the boom arm end. It does not mean it's wrong. It's just a different way. Production class cranes or jobs can work either way.

Sorry for the delay but I bought this for my son and I had to get in touch with him to get the answer. He says that he had to buy a robust Ball Head that would hold the weight in order for this to work successfully. The ball head also allows you to tilt and move the camera as you want to. I hope this helps you with your problem.

You know, I have never used the pan and tilt at the same time. First off I am using this head with a DSLR and not a video camera. Having said that, I usually set the tilt and then just pan as I am shoot. I know this head seems to be real smooth as long as I don't snug it down too tight. I may try to put some graphite on it and just see as smooth it will make it operate. I do know you have to be careful using graphite as it will get all over EVERYTHING! Sorry I could not have been more help to you.

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.

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

It depends on the type of head you purchase. Most people would buy the less expensive simple head which does not tilt for veritical position. This is not a function of the Monopod.

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.

Yes it can tilt up and down. For side to side you would just rotate the monopod.
