The EG08A2 is a great starter tripod for medium-heavy camera rigs. Pan and tilt drag are pre-set for a moderate load and 1-7 stages of counterbalance can be dialed in based on the weight and position of the camera and its accessories. The GH08 has a recommended maximum payload of 22lbs and mounts to the bowl of any 75mm video tripod legs. Pan and tilt drag are installed and set at a fixed amount for slightly heavy camera rigs. There are 1-7 stages of counterbalance that can be dialed in and the bubble level on the head lights up by pressing a button. This head uses the GP1 quick release plate and comes with a GB2 pan handle.
