Is this good for both stills and video?

Its a good pan and tilt head on a small tripod or monopod. I use it with a GH4 and 5D3 on a monopod and the quick release plate is very useful for gorilla style shoots.

It's designed for video, it's a smooth pan camera which isn't all that useful for stills.

It's best for video but works for photo. It's a little too clunky to be versatile in all photography applications which is why I own a smaller three-way head I can throw on the same legs whenever I need to do exclusively photography work.

It will work for stills and video but, it works best for video. I use it mounted to a Monopod or a tripod. When I shoot stills, I switch to a ball head on a tripod.I hope this helps.

Yes, it does take stills. It works as a camcorder as well as a camera. I bought one for my boyfriend for Christmas and we love it.

The short answer is no, but in my opinion that's a good thing since you have more control over the focus and apeture. It can be pretty unforgiving though, since it has such a shallow depth of field-- great for film, rough sometimes for stills.

No, I used it in my digital camera for stills and videos. However, I would not recommend it. It started taking half photos: the bottom half of one photo became the bottom half of the next. Or the bottom half of the photo was completely dark. I replaced it with a San Disk.

I never use it, but from what I remember, people who reviewed this camera said that still photographs were low quality. They suggest using a dedicated camera for stills.

Judith; I have primarily used the camera for still /semi-still pictures. I have a friend who uses hers for live action at rock concerts and gets outstanding results. Hope this helps, R

Sorry. I've only used it for still photos. Would probably work OK if you didn't have to do panning and thus change focus...unless you are more nimble than I am.

It is for stage photo application.So it should be fine for motion taking video.Regards,kimoutlet

Short answer: no, get a proper stills camera for that. However since it shoots raw, it saves each frame as a separate dng file within a folder so technically you could grab a still from the dng sequence.

I have recorded video on my panasonic digital camera from time to time, but I primarily take stills so I cannot attest to the hd video......but the stills come out great.

I bought it for my son and he has used it for a couple videos. Works well so I would think so but I am not a photo expert either.

this would look incredibly silly if you were using it for stills purposes instead of video. To answer your question: yes you can but it's not really the right tool for the job. Look into a monopod instead.

I use it for my 60D, and it works like a champ. My speciality is night long exposure photos, and it rock solid. I've used it for video, but not with a special head, but it worked fine.

For stills, it won't go from landscape to portrait mode, so it's limited for still use. Also, it's spring loaded, so you'll be fighting the spring (unless you remove the spring...) So, probably really only suitable for motion use, or stills where you need to pan with action.

Sorry I just use for my photography. I have not used my camera for video. I have old Fuji 5 mp that takes the best video of anything I have ever used even new sony. I still use the old xd Fuji.

Yes, you can take pictures while in "video" mode. You can also preset whether you want a better quality for the video or the photo while performing both actions, which is quite handy.

the go pro cameras are not designed for stills and this camera has a pretty awfull video codex. the go pro has a super wide fixed lens which creates a bit of a fish eye effect. they are really two different animals. I think that if you bought a go pro for shooting stills, you would be rather frustrated and possibly dissapointed.
