Jamie, what do you think of the varizoom head, I'm thinking of buying this later in the year, I've been trying to find out how fast it is but no one seems to be able to tell me so you might be my saviour  How fast does it do a 360? John.

You will not be disappointed with that head it is very smooth
As for speed as long as the camera is balanced and at full speed on the controler your looking at about 5 seconds for a 360 but you can change the cog size and go faster but I fined that is fast enough. But whack down the speed and you can get your camera moving so slow you can hardlay see it move..
Ill have to post up some video clips .
Also VariZoom says it takes cameras up to 30lbs max when in fact it can take more than that.
The only thing I can fault it on is the mounting plate for the camera has no rubber or cork pad and your camera if heavy can slip on the powder coated surface but its easily sorted with a off cut of rubber car mat..
Oh and dont bother with the lcd screen thay sell its crap we have sent ours back ,just pick up a £40 car head rest LCD monitor on ebay
