tête à rotule

Explanation:
Il existe deux types de têtes: "pan/tilt" et à rotule, souvent appelé "ballhead". Sur la tête de type "pan/tilt";, les ajustements horizontal et vertical sont indépendants. Sur le type à rotule, tous les ajustements se font en une seule étape. Les têtes à rotule sont généralement un peu plus dispendieuses, mais leur plus grande rapidité d'opération en vaut le coût.
