Ball Heads

Tripods are among the most beneficial photography accessories on the market. When you want to stabilize your camera for a long exposure, take the weight off your neck and shoulders, or ensure that you take multiple images from precisely the same location, tripods are an ideal solution.

Selecting a tripod head is an important step. Some tripod heads are better for video, others are better for stitching panoramas, and still others are designed for a range of situations.

What is a Ball Head and How Does it Work?

A ball head is a type of tripod head that uses a ball and socket structure for support and flexibility. Ball heads offer quick and easy adjustment and fine tuning. They’re also much more compact than pan-tilt tripod heads that require multiple bulky levers.

Most ball heads feature a ball that’s attached to the camera and a socket that’s attached to the tripod. Notches in the socket make it easy for photographers to shoot in either portrait or landscape orientation.

Ball heads feature compact lever locks so you can position your camera exactly where you want it and lock it in place. Some ball heads also feature a 360-degree rotation plate so you can fine tune your positioning even more.

Quick Releases for Ball Heads

Spontaneity is important when it comes to most photography applications. You want to be able to take your camera off the tripod or mount and position it on the tripod efficiently at a moment’s notice.

A quick release makes it easy to mount your camera to the ball head. There are a few different types of quick releases, from the common and universal Arca Swiss system, to a range of proprietary systems. In nearly all quick-release systems, a mounting plate screws into your camera’s universal threaded tripod mount so it’s there when you need it.

Load Capacity

When choosing a ball head, the most important step is ensuring that the ball head can support the full weight of your camera and lens. Small, compact cameras work well with smaller, less rugged ball heads, but if you’re using a large full frame camera with a telephoto lens, look for a robust maximum load capacity.
