Leofoto BV-1R Fluid Video Head with Arca NP-50 Plate and 48mm Panning Base

Compact, precise, and incredibly smooth — the Leofoto BV-1R is a premium mini fluid video head built for content creators, travel videographers, and photographers seeking lightweight performance without compromising on control. Engineered with a compact footprint and crafted from hard-anodized, aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, the BV-1R is part of Leofoto’s MINI Fluid Head Series and offers professional-grade pan and tilt movement in a travel-sized package.

Despite its minimalist form, this head delivers full fluid motion, including 360° panning and a generous tilt range from +90° to -75°. The integrated 280mm handle provides excellent leverage for controlled, sweeping movements, making it perfect for video panning, wildlife tracking, or dynamic photo framing.

Equipped with a CNC-machined Arca-Swiss quick release clamp and a matching NP-50 plate, the BV-1R ensures fast, secure mounting of your gear. At just 433g in weight with a 3kg load capacity, it strikes an ideal balance between portability and performance. Whether mounted on a compact travel tripod or a larger platform, it’s an ideal match for mirrorless systems and lightweight DSLRs.
