Choosing three-way heads

Check the movement each control unlocks

Independent pan, tilt and portrait controls suit careful framing. Check which axes have friction adjustment if you want resistance while setting the angle.

Measure what travels in the bag

Long levers can change how a head packs. Look for retractable controls if you carry the tripod assembled, and check whether a separate handle can be repositioned.

Department questions

Are three axes the same as geared adjustment?

No. Three-way describes the separate directions. Check for explicit geared controls if you need fine increments.

Do I need a new plate when changing heads?

Compare the old and new receiver codes first. The camera's screw can fit more than one plate without making those plates interchangeable.

When would a ball head make more sense?

If you frequently reframe in several directions at once, a single ball lock may be quicker to use.
