That doesn't look like it would be smooth at all.

Check the video. It's actually not that bad, it's actually the continuation of pulling it a full 360 that is quite difficult but with a bit of practice will be fine. What I will try is an elastic band pull, i've seen this trick on jerky tripods.

Not bad for 20 quid though me thinks.

That a useful head, I have one. The base axis feels like it has a little fluid dampening so it might be enough..

Indeed. I also attached an elastic band and pulled around which just adds even better smoothness allowing a fluid 360 at a constant speed. It'll do for what I need it for. Lovely little arm, I might buy another and see what I can do with one on the other.
