Ok, so I have been researching fluid heads for my vortex ridgeline tripod. I like the ridgeline because it goes talll for glassing while standing that works when antelope hunting. But good for sitting and glassing but can be spread out wide for low to the ground shooting relatively light at 3.2 lbs. but didn’t love pan head. I wanted something that smooth for glassing, good for shooting off, and used arca Swiss. My 300 prc has arca Swiss on it for tripod shooting. Much of my research pointed toward the Sirui v-5. I saw a new product on the market sold by gunwerks called Revic Fh-1 fluid head… I bought it, took a risk with something new which usually pays off for me. I believe it did. again! There were no reviews, only one from manufacturer. But I took a chance and love it. It is very smooth and stable. Holds my viper 2-60x80 ( which I bought over razor after watching Jim’s review) without tipping. Pic below with rifle will hold it stable even with adjustment not fully locked. Very impressed so if you are looking take a look at Revic fh-1.
Thanks for the recommendation. I should probably pick up a new fluid head, so I’ll check it out.
