Tripod Heads
Manfrotto Tripod Heads are fundamental products in the Manfrotto tripods range. Expertise, quality and continuous innovation make these products reliable companions for all photographers looking for a tool that will give them full control of their camera.
A tripod head’s importance is paramount: it is the one component that really gives you control over your camera, so it’s worth choosing very carefully indeed. The first choice is between three-way, geared or ball heads. The head should be the first thing to be picked if the factors that determine your choice of support system are versatility, application-specific design, speed in use, or precision. Once you have found the ideal tripod head, you can look for the perfect tripod legs to match it.
