Video Heads
Manfrotto Video Heads are fundamental products in the Manfrotto video tripods range. Expertise, quality and continuous innovation make these products reliable companions for all videographers looking for a tool that will give them full control of their camera.
A video head’s importance is paramount: it is the one component that really gives you control over your DSLR or camcorder, so it’s worth choosing very carefully indeed if you need heads for video use.
Video heads for tripods are also popular among wildlife photographers, sports optics users and sports photographers using long telephoto lenses, as they help balance your camera with the sliding plate, and stabilise your equipment with a counterbalance system. A video head should be the first thing to be picked if the factors that determine your choice of video support system are versatility, application-specific design, speed in use, or precision. Once you have found the ideal head, you can look for the perfect video tripod or video monopod to match it to create your perfect kit.
