The choice of your tripod and tripod head to be taken seriously because they generally last longer than your camera itself. As there are hundreds of tripods and tripod heads models to select from, we published a detailled tripod blog post which can be found in our blog site News section. We have listed the top 8 features to consider, as to be able to make your own choice for tripod material, maximum loads, weight, height, stability, legs locking, centre column are all important features to observe.
Note that you will find a lot of tripods with integrated head at great prizes; they have very restricted use and are beneficial mainly for compact camera or occasional use. We can only advise to invest in a tripod that has a base plate and a mounting screw for an external head; moreover, with a removable head, you can upgrade your tripod in the future.
So, which tripod head should you buy?
There are two major families for tripod head:
- 3 Way tripod head will permit horizontal or vertical camera orientation. They are preferred by those doing landscape, macro photography or video. They are generally supplied with one or two handles for ease in manipulation and offer exceptional stability.
- Ball tripod head will allow 360 degrees panoramic rotation and are popular for wildlife photographers, but not exclusively. Ball heads are greater in offering complete freedom with your movement.
We can undoubtedly recommend you to opt for the quick-release plates or bubble level indicator, as part of your tripod head selection, we found those options quite handy in our quest for the best photo shoot.
We do not intend to advocate one specific supplier, but always chose your best tripod head from leading manufacturers. You may like to explore other cheaper alternatives but hopefully you will not have to compromise on vibration-free performance.
