If there is one piece of equipment that is the most taken for granted and is often the last big investments a new photographer makes, it’s a good tripod and head. When looking at your wish list, you usually see lenses, bodies, flashes, or a myriad of other things on the list well before you see a tripod, let alone a set of legs and a separate head for it.

A tripod is not a single piece of equipment, but rather, two components joined together: the legs and the head. In this article, we’ll explore a specific type of tripod head called the ball head, or more formally the ball and socket head. A tripod head, in general, is the piece of equipment that sits between your camera and the tripod legs.

Took this video for the fun of it. I couldn’t help laughing away because the tripod is actually meant for a DSLR but AriBarryBurberry went to put his Panasonic Lumix FX-100 on it hehehe!!! Sorry man… By the way, anyone looking to buy a nice tripod that comes together with a ball head? Selling cheap at RM500.

photo credit: auer1816 Since we just talked about tabletop tripods, it got me thinking about tripod heads. Personally, I’m a fan of ballheads, but some people swear by 3-way panheads. So which is it for you? And why do you have that preference?

Tonight my son wrote a paper on procrastination and thinking of blogging I sure could relate. My excuses vary from planting trees to hiking and photographing more than tossing up a note or two.
