Get on the Ball! The ease and immediacy of a BALL HEAD for a tripod. This is the simplest method of camera support on a tripod to position the imagemaking device at the photographer's command choice. Traditionally, tripods are graced with a head that serves to attach a camera and provide alignment for as many as 3 planes: Horizontal axis, Vertical axis, and Zenith/Arc leveling. While sophisticated clamps and levers provided excellent stability with their firm locking power, the 3-way tripod head could grow quite wieldy and heavy to hold a camera firmly.The simple Ball Head overcomes most of the weight and all of the size issues, not the speed of deployment. One lever controls the tilt, orientation, and direction of the camera. The more well-endowed the head, the more separated the action controls provide 180-degree tilt and base camera rotation plus the second knob to independently control 360-degree panoramic swing. Shoot stills or confidence that your device is firm and steady in the 3Pod AB2 Ball Head.
