3-Way Heads are designed to carry a specific load. Large ergonomically designed handgrips ensure effortless vertical and lateral tilting and 360 degree panning. Low profile heads provide solid support and flexibility for large format and video cameras. The distance from the top of the tripod to the platform is reduced to ensure that the center of gravity of the camera is kept over the middle of the tripod to avoid the possibility of overbalancing. Recommended for use with Series 4 and 5 tripods.
