Q: 1. Is this compatible with 75mm bowl tripods. If not, which tripods is it compatible with?

A: Yes, the Leofoto BV-20K Fluid Tripod Head can be used on 75mm bowl tripods when adding a 75mm ball head, like the Benro 75HB 75mm Half Ball Adapter. See the link below: https://bhpho.to/3XMxynL

Q: 2. What is the operating temperature?

A: There is no listed specific temperature of operation for the Leofoto BV-20K Fluid Tripod Head. It is well known that in close to freezing temperatures, the fluid can get viscous and make it difficult to have quicker motions in these conditions.

Q: 3. Does BV-5 provide any counterbalance force at all? I know it doesn't have adjustable counterbalance, but fixed perhaps?

A: The Leofoto Mini Fluid Head with Arca-Type Plate has no counterbalance.

Q: 4. Is the weight of this really 7lbs? I only see the shipped weight listed

A: According to Padcaster the weight of the tripod will be between 6 to 6.5 pounds.

Q: 5. Is this compatible with blackmagic designs 4k pro g2 ?

A: Yes.

Q: 6. does bh sell a tripod that's basically the same functionality as the padcaster ( BH #THPCTRIPODG2 ), but can handle 20lbs? Specifically, 71" height, with a more narrow footprint like the padcaster. I shoot indoors in cramped spaces, so appleboxes is a non starter and would slow my workflow dramatically. Also the boom-able center column is a must, since I can set it in the middle and save adjusting all 3 legs, instead just adjusting the locking center column. For same reason, prefer flip lock legs, saves time. The leveling half base (the orange part of the padcaster on the center column, bottom half of the fluid head) is exceptionally useful for leveling, and the fluid head / flat video head design is most reliable (contrasting the sirui BH #SISUW2204K20 ballhead, which I wouldn't feel comfortable putting my cage/camera/monitor/98wh batterry on) budget is $300-500. is the best route to piece this together? would need the 71" height, the fluid head base (once again, not for recording camera movement, but for video head platform reliability, to use w/ a cage/rails/98wh battery/monitor system). and the center column w a hook to add a sandbag.

A: You could consider the Manfrotto 502AH Video Head & MT055XPRO3 Aluminum Tripod Kit, which holds up to 22lbs, has foot print similar to the Padcaster Fluid Head Tripod/Monopod, but it only reaches up to 67" instead of 71". See: https://bhpho.to/3Ro8AXN

Q: 7. Are the rosettes M8 or 1/4-20?

A: The Rosettes are only for mounting the additional or relocating the pan bar. The screws are 1/4" but bay be more than "20."

Q: 8. Will this head accept Arca-Swiss plates?

A: This head will accept Arca-Swiss plates.

Q: 9. Does this have a counterbalance?

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

Q: 10. What is the difference between this and Leofoto BV-1R? All I can see is that there is a small weight difference, but what else?

A: There are no other differences except the slightly lighter weight on this Leofoto BV-1 Fluid Video Head, which is an updated version of the Leofoto Mini Fluid Head BV-1R.
