I would have thought a fluid head would be better for video but I am thinking of getting a cage for the 610 to mount mic and monitor and possibly follow focus to do video work.
They are, but then the price goes up higher than the one you were querying.
When I was doing 16mm films in the 1970s I managed with a non fluid head for some time until I could afford a Sachtler head.
A long arm was a necessity to assist smooth(as possible) movement. But I was a bit old school ….moving subjects not moving camera, so I minimised camera movements during filming as much as possible.
Fluid heads are a bit like auto focus. We managed before the arrived but they soon became the ‘can’t live without it’ feature.
