Smooth your pans and tilts with the OZEN Agile 10S Fluid Head for Smooth Camera Movementfrom OZEN. Designed for fast setup in ENG- and EFP-style shooting scenarios, the Agile 10S is equipped with a CNC-machined dial mechanism for crisp, repeatable counterbalance adjustment in 10 steps. The Agile 10S's versatile design enables you to quickly change camcorder configurations within a payload range of 2.2 to 26.4 pounds.

The Agile 10S is equipped with a 5/5 + 0 fluid drag mechanism and offers a tilt range of 90 to -80°. The considerable amount of fluid drag available at higher increments enables experienced operators to acquire full-zoom, pan/tilt-intensive images that are indistinguishable from those acquired in close. This fluid head uses the S-Loc camera mounting interface, which enhances the front-to-rear balance adjustment range to accommodate exceptionally front- or back-heavy camera setups.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this fit on a Gitzo 2545T tripod and will it be able to hold a Leica Televid spotting scope with digiscope and SL2 camera?

A: Yes, the Gitzo 2545T tripod and the fluid head will hold your setup with ease.

Q: 2. Will this head fit the Gitzo Traveler GT1545TUS that I bought from you?

A: Yes. That is correct! You would be able to mount The Gitzo 2-Way Fluid Head, onto The Gitzo GIGT1545T, Traveler Series 1 Carbon Fiber Tripod. You may want to add a leveler in between. See below. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/431861-REG/Acratech_1117_Leveling_Base.html

Q: 3. Is the S-Loc plate system compatible with Manfrotto-style plates?

A: Yes, the S-Loc quick release plate system is compatible with Manfrotto style quick release plates such as the 501PL.

Q: 4. Is the FSB-4 that much better than the Ace XL? Besides the Ace having more plastic, are the differences substantial or marginal?

A: With plastic head's, the main compromise that is made is in rigidity and flex. If you deal with heavier cameras, with pretty tight tilt and pan settings, you may end up with a degree of flex back with the Ace vs the FSB. If you lock an ACE down completely, and push on the camera, you can actually see the head move a bit...may not be an issue to most people.

Q: 5. Why is this plate NOT listed as an accessory for the Compass20 Fluid Head under quick release plates ? I now have to order this after ordering the wrong plate.

A: We are sorry for any confusion. This is the proper plate for the Compass20 Fluid Head.

Q: 6. plus/minus 110 degrees? Is that 220 degrees of motion, or really just +55, -55 ( etc)??

A: i looked at mine last night -- horizontally 360 degrees and vertically 180 degrees (full range of motion not 1/2) -- not sure where the 110% comes from.Mike

Q: 7. Can this bar be used on the Ozen Agile 15?

A: Yes the OZEN Extending Pan Bar PB-2 works with all Ozen Agile head models including the 15.

Q: 8. What size are the threads on this pan bar?

A: That's not specified by the manufacturer at the moment.

Q: 9. What is its loading weight capacity?

A: The Lefoto BV-1R can support up to 6.6lbs.

Q: 10. 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.

[Yes] This head is logically simple and reliable in use. But to understand the quality of its work, and therefore, to decide whether to obtain this head for myself or not, I would need to answer two questions for myself: 1) Would you need to set up the head under your camera every time for different filming parameters? 2) Is it important for you to have clean camera movement and therefore in-shot composition? If not – then it is better to get a simpler and cheaper head, you would save a good deal of money. If yes – then Sachtler will serve you well. That is, the FSB 6 will satisfy many professional needs (of course, except large film projects, where there are other needs for other camera equipment). But in the case of production of many independent films – feature or documentary – with non-heavy cameras, the Sachtler FSB 6 head creates a firm sense of reassurance that the most difficult scene, panorama and mise-en-scène will be shot. In film production, just like in any craft, there needs to be a certain level of quality which would help complete a job with a good and stable result. Sachtler FSB 6 is in this very category of quality. I give 5 stars with one comment – I got the Sachtler FSB 6 for a tripod of another brand and the Tie-Down Bolt was shorter than needed. I suspect that I am not the only one to whom this problem extends to. 5

[Yes] absolute Chinese copy of Sachtler just better,yes Sachtler is made in Dominican Republic REGION this one in china,for small cameras is killer,head is extremely smooth ,only the caring case is its so,so. 5

[Yes] I purchased this head nearly 10 years ago. It has survived trips all over the world and three cameras later, it is still the same as the day I purchased it. Smooth action with no perceivable backlash and flexible counterbalance system. It is now the heaviest item in my camera bag as I now use it with primarily a DSLR to shoot my video. Sadly hasn't been used much recently due to the state of travel with the coronavirus, but will hopefully be on the road again soon. 5

[Yes] Very easy to operate and more concentrate all the energy to photography as left hand can touch the lens. Highly recommended. 5

[+90° to -80°] I just got the gitzo tripod and fluid head to replace an older tripod. This head is super smooth and very good quality. Allowing me to see futher with my binoculars without the shake my other head had. I recommend this one. 5

[Fluid Head] I've now used the Sachtler FSB-8 fluid head for a few months on a variety of event video shoots (concerts, cabarets, etc.) and corporate interviews. In a nutshell: it works perfectly. This thing is far, FAR better than a Manfrotto 504HD (my previous fluid head). Super-smooth pans and tilts, great counterbalance with my Canon C100 camera and 70-200mm lens. It's nice that the quick-release plate is compatible with Manfrotto plates, so I didn't have to spend any extra cash on additional plates. My only complaint is the pan handle. It's way too short, and not adjustable in length. You'd think a fluid head as expensive as this would have a decent pan handle. You can purchase another compatible handle that does extend, but it's very expensive. That said, I have zero regrets with this fluid head. Buttery smooth motion, easy to set up, doesn't weigh much, and it just plain works. Highly recommended. 5
