Tripod Head Type
There are 3 main types of tripods heads, each with its own pros and cons. The quick release (ballhead) is the most common and easiest to use, but it's also the heaviest. The pan/tilt (aka video head) works well for taking pictures of moving objects, like kids or animals, but they're harder to balance because you have to set everything by hand; sometimes there are multiple knobs...
