Margaret Collis has the following, almost new, kit for sale:
MANFROTTO 503 PRO FLUID VIDEO HEAD
The variable damping (drag) allows the head to be tailored to the weight of your camera and lens, and also to the focal length, to allow smooth pan and tilt action which is especially useful when following wildlife such as waterfowl, allowing smooth one-handed pan with sufficient stability to be able to release the shutter while panning or to hold steady without having to pause and lock the head only to find your subject has moved away again!
