Q: 5. Does this have a counterbalance?

A: Unfortunately, the Leofoto Fluid Head BV-1R does not have a counter balance.

Q: 6. Does it offer true fluid damping in the pan direction, or just a pivot with a lock screw?

A: The Leofoto Mini Fluid Head (B&H# LEBV1R) offers a friction-drag based system in particular (rather than a fluid-based drag system) albeit with what is generically classified as fluid movement. While this does place it in the fluid head category, it does not have a fluid cartridge associated with the pan axis, which was the subject of your question. Please note, however, that it is also not just a simple pivot with a lock screw. Rather, panning movement is friction-damped.

Q: 7. is the Arca plate on Ulanzi U-190 Mini Fluid Head compatible with PEAK DESIGN Capture Clip. the plate look the same ?? if remove the stop slide screw.

A: While the Ulanzi U-190 Mini Fluid Head does mention that the camera plate uses an "Arca-style interface", we cannot say for sure that it would be compatible with the Peak Design Capture Camera Clip v3 (Black) which uses an Arca-Type plate, as these are unregulated terms. So while both plates do have a similar design, (the Arca design), there may be slight differences that would render them incompatible.

Q: 8. Can I buy extra camera plates for this Ulanzi? I don't see them listed.

A: The Ulanzi U-190 Mini Fluid Head can work with the Falcam F38 Quick Release Top Plate or other ARCA Swiss compatible plates. Falcam F38 Quick Release Top Plate BH #FAF38QRTP

Q: 9. I have fully loosened the pan and tilt locks and still feel like there is lots of tension. Is there another way to reduce the tension for quicker panning/tilting?

A: You can adjust the counterbalance on the side of the video head. This will loosen up the drag and allow you to pan and tilt more smoothly.
