tripod head
Three-legged camera top
A tripod head is the mounting device atop a tripod that allows a camera or other equipment to be positioned and moved.
Ball heads permit smooth omnidirectional adjustment, while pan-tilt heads offer controlled movement along specific axes.
Fluid heads provide dampened motion for video work.
The head attaches to the tripod legs and receives the camera via a quick-release plate: I need a sturdier tripod head for this telephoto lens.
