Different types of tripod heads for video production

12 Aug 2022 0 comments

Are you packing the equipment for your next video shoot for a client or even your portfolio? Along with all other essential accessories and equipment, a steady camera tripod is compulsory. With the modern lightweight video cameras equipped with stability options, the importance of camera tripods is usually overlooked, however, an experienced filmmaker always knows what great possibilities a tripod can unlock. The market has evolved and brought us various types of products for all kinds of video production needs. Here are different types of tripod heads that can add another star to your video production:

Ball Heads

One of the popular and basic types is the ball head tripod. It has a simple ball and socket joint that allows it to move along all three axes. Although it provides great flexibility but is not recommended for heavy rigs.

Pan-Tilt Head

If you want to restrict your camera movement to two axes, then a Pan-tilt head is your go-to option. It allows vertical and horizontal moments that you can control with its two angles.

Fluid Head

Professional videographers love this one, as it helps you get smooth shots without much hassle. It is similar to the pan-tilt head, however, uses a hydraulic damping system for more stability and smoothness. You can also adjust the pan speed in your shots by adjusting the friction of the fluid head.

Gimbal Heads

Most tripod heads are not suitable for heavy equipment. The Gimbal Heads cover this market gap. Due to its flexibility, It allows you to perfectly balance your shots when you are using long lenses.

Monopods

A versatile and perfect selection if you will be running around the venue with heavy equipment and won’t have the time to set up a tripod for every shot. Monopods are not categorically tripod heads, but they have their own amazing set of applications. It is a perfect option for event videographers.
