A Guide to Choosing a Tripod Head
A lot of people talk about the "nodding" of tripod head, but they can not talk about the key and the key - I just had a separate post to discuss the "nodding" of tripod head.
An important note before the opening question: What we call today the "nodding" problem of the tripod head is not to say that after the tripod head is locked, because the tripod head has insufficient locking force, the lens slowly hangs down due to gravity! Must want to understand this key point!
Tips:
1, All tripod head inevitably exist "nod" phenomenon - in addition to gear tripod head;
2, "nodding" not only with the tripod head structure and technology itself, but also with the camera, lens, and the user's mode of operation;
3, "nodding" the severity of the phenomenon is one of the important indicators measuring tripod head performance;

First of all, what does it mean to nod?
We often talked about tripod head "nodding" problem, the performance is: the angle in place, the completion of the composition, lock the tripod head moment, you will find the viewfinder screen will be a slight movement, resulting in a locked Composition offset. Because most of the performance for the picture down, so we commonly known as "nod" phenomenon; in fact, there will be lifting or moving around. Nodding is especially noticeable when using telephoto or macro lenses. This phenomenon, I use a concept to indicate: "lock offset"; degree of size, known as "lock offset"
And some people said, tripod head lock, unable to support, after a period of time, the lens gradually drooping phenomenon, not "lock offset", but the lack of locking force, the issue is not in this post discussion Range.
There are many factors that cause tripod head "offset when locking", there are internal factors, but also external factors.
