Headless tripods

Headless

— tripods that are not equipped with a head or do not have one at all.

In the first case, the point is that the user can choose the head separately, according to his own requirements, and not rely on the choice of the manufacturer. This opportunity is especially appreciated by professionals: we remind you that the performance characteristics and options for using a tripod directly depend on the head. And if necessary, you can even purchase several heads and change them for different tasks.

The complete absence of a head means that the "seat" for the camera is rigidly fixed to the stand and does not provide rotations or tilts. This feature is often found in monopods and shoulder tripods (see "Type") — in them the camera can be directed by rotating / tilting the entire structure. Separate desktop models are also made "headless" — while in flexible tripods you can change the position of the camera due to the deformation of the legs.
