ball head
Spherical tripod attachment
A ball head is a camera mount that uses a ball-and-socket joint, allowing smooth rotation in any direction.
Photographers favor ball heads for tripods because they permit quick repositioning with a single locking mechanism: I loosened the ball head to reframe the shot.
The design offers more flexibility than pan-tilt heads, though with less precision for specific movements.
