    Premises:
    Coming from the Betacan era with lenses up to 600mm
    Obviously a wildlife videographer
    Used Sachtler, Libec, Vinten, great hydraulic ones
    Now retired, just doing footage, lightweight gear
    Have GH5 + 109-400 Pana and Manfrotto 502
    Total weight is 1.5 Kg but the problem is smoothness on movements, I lack them a lot when going 400 and plus 1.4X
    Question:
    Would the 504 improve significantly? Can’t find one in Brisbane to test.
    Can’t afford expensive good ones
    Thanks
