Ulanzi Professional Camera Heads: Stability & Precision for Every Shot
You need more than a great camera and lens for sharp photos and smooth video. The camera head connects your camera to the tripod. It lets you aim, level, and lock your camera securely. This helps you get the perfect shot. A good camera head gives your gear a solid, stable base. It stops annoying shakes and movement. Different heads are made for different jobs. Some heads give you smooth movements for video. Other heads let photographers lock in their exact shot. A good quick-release system also lets you attach and remove your camera fast.
Our collection has many special heads. We have ball heads for photographers, fluid heads for videographers, and small heads for vloggers. Each head is made for a special purpose, so you can pick the best tool for your work.

Find Your Fit: The Head Collection Explained
Picking the right camera head depends on what you shoot. Our heads are in clear groups. Each group has special features for photographers, videographers, and creators who travel.
For Photographers: Ball Heads for Ultimate Stability & Precision
Ball heads are great for photos because they let you move your camera quickly and easily. Some heads have an upside-down design. This lowers the camera's center of gravity and gives more stability with heavy lenses.
- Inverted Head (EH09): It holds up to 5 kg (11 lb). It also has two bubble levels to help you get a straight shot. The handle comes off and hides a multi-tool screwdriver set.
- Heavy-Duty Head (U-100): It is built to be very strong. Its maximum load is 20 kg (44 lb), but for smooth use, the suggested load is 2-5 kg. It uses a special quick-release system with a dual-lock for safety.
For Videographers: Professional Fluid Heads for Smooth Motion
Fluid heads are made for video. They use a special fluid system inside. This gives you smooth, controlled pans and tilts.
- Compact Fluid Head (U-190 Pro): It holds up to 4 kg (8.8 lb). A main feature is that you can switch quickly between horizontal and vertical video.
- Heavy-Duty Fluid Head (T045): It is for pro cinema cameras and holds 10 kg (22 lb). It has advanced 10-step counterbalance and 6-step tilt/pan damping controls. These are pro features, but reviews say the steps are small, so it is best for new pro work.
For Vloggers & Hybrid Shooters: Compact Heads with Cold Shoe Mounts
Vloggers often need to add things like microphones and lights. These small heads fix that problem because they have built-in cold shoe mounts.
- Dual Cold Shoe Head (U-60): It has two cold shoe mounts and holds 2 kg. It is perfect for a small vlogging setup with a mic and a light.
- Arca-Swiss Cold Shoe Head (U-80L): It holds a heavier 10 kg (22 lb) load. It has one cold shoe and a standard Arca-type quick-release system, so it works with more gear.
Specialty Mounts: Action Cam Magnetic Mounts & Accessories
For special angles, you can get special mounts. Magnetic mounts for action cameras use strong magnets. They attach safely to any flat metal surface, like a car. They have a small ball head for 360° angle changes and a soft silicone base to stop scratches.
