A "Ball Head" is a type of tripod head used in photography and videography. It features a spherical ball that allows for smooth and flexible movement in multiple directions. This design enables photographers to quickly adjust the camera's angle and position, making it easier to capture the desired shot. Ball heads are popular among photographers because they provide a secure grip and can support heavy camera equipment. They typically include a quick-release plate, allowing for easy attachment and detachment of the camera. Many photographers prefer ball heads for their versatility and ease of use in various shooting situations.
