Tripod Heads
Match the right head to your tripod with tripod heads from Ted's Cameras. The head determines how you frame, follow and lock your shot — and upgrading from an entry-level head can transform a wobbly tripod into a precision tool.
Tripod head types
- Ball heads — fast, flexible and compact; ideal for general photography.
- Pan-tilt (3-way) heads — independent axis control for landscape and architecture.
- Fluid video heads — smooth pans and tilts for video work.
- Geared heads — slow, ultra-precise framing for studio and macro.
- Gimbal heads — balance heavy telephotos for wildlife and sports.
How to choose a tripod head
Confirm the head can support your camera plus heaviest lens (with a safety margin). Check the mounting plate matches your needs — Arca-Swiss is the most universal standard. Look for a smooth movement, easy locking and a clear bubble level.
