Choosing ball heads

Keep the quick release you use

Read the code on the plate already attached to your camera. Heads sold under one product family may have different receivers, so look for the exact plate named for the selected variant.

Decide what you want to move independently

Compare a head with separate pan and friction controls with a simpler design if you switch between landscapes and portraits. Check where the controls sit once the camera is mounted.

Compare these selections

Department questions

Which lock lets me pan without changing tilt?

Look for a separately lockable pan base and confirm the ball can stay locked while that base turns.

Does the head replace the plate on my camera?

It comes down to the receiver. Some heads let you keep your existing plate, while a different system may require its own plate.

What if I want to adjust one angle repeatedly?

Compare a three-way or geared head. Independent axis controls can save time when you are refining one direction.
