Video Heads vs Traditional Tripod Heads

While tripod legs for photo and video are very similar, tripod video heads and photo heads are quite different. Photography tripod heads are traditionally either pan-tilt heads or ball heads, but in both cases, the tripod head is rarely in motion while the shutter is open.

Video heads need to provide stability while also making it easy to move or adjust the camera for more dynamic and engaging footage.

Movement

With a video tripod head, camera operators can move the camera in multiple directions more smoothly. Some video heads offer two directional movement with pan and tilt control, while others also allow for diagonal movement.

For the smoothest camera movement, look for fluid tripod heads. These contain fluid cartridges or oiled mechanisms that prevent jerky, uneven movements. In fact, most pro photographers will tell you a high-quality fluid head is just as important as a high-quality camera.

Some video heads also offer internal counterweight systems to hold your camera position securely.

Weight Distribution

Unless you’re using a lens tripod mount or special accessory, typical photography tripod heads mount directly under the center of the camera. Video heads feature a larger mounting plate with an adjustable tripod screw location. This helps adjust the weight distribution so the camera and lens are supported evenly over the tripod legs.

Large Capacity Platforms and Stages

Whether you’re using a compact mirrorless camera and lens or a large studio camera, you can improve how you secure your expensive gear with a video head. As you shop for a new video tripod head, check each model’s maximum payload to ensure it will safely support all of your camera, lenses, and accessories.
