fluid head

A fluid head is a component of camera mounts or tripods that allows smooth, controlled movement of the camera. It contains a special fluid inside that provides resistance, making panning (horizontal movement) and tilting (vertical movement) gentle and steady. This helps videographers and photographers achieve smooth, professional-looking shots without jerky motions. The fluid head often includes a balancing mechanism to support the camera weight and adjustable controls for precise movement. Its design ensures stability and fluidity, enhancing the quality of the footage or photos taken.
