Here's a ranking of the best products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've also added some key information about the products.
1. Ulanzi Ball head U-80L
The ball head allows for extremely flexible horizontal and vertical positioning of your camera. Additionally, lateral tilting is also not an issue. This way, you can optimally position your camera in almost any conceivable situation.
2. Rollei V5i
For those looking to create high-resolution videos that leave viewers in awe, there are many options available today. For instance, photographers can use their smartphones or digital SLR or mirrorless cameras. The technique of panning is a popular stylistic element that can make films even more engaging.
However, to achieve this, it's advisable to use at least a gimbal, which allows for smooth movements thanks to its gimbal suspension. Yet, this alone does not guarantee that the gimbal will maintain a perfectly level horizontal plane. Therefore, a video head with a handle is often a better choice for this purpose. Take the V5i video head, for example, which is compact and lightweight (weighing 230 grams) on one side, while also offering a high load capacity of three kilograms on the other.
