What's the difference between tripod head and panoramic head?

Difference: The biggest difference between Yuntai and Panoramic Express is that Yuntai may not be able to take panoramic photos, but the panoramic head can definitely take panoramic photos, because the panoramic head can rotate 360 degrees to shoot the sky and the earth, which is impossible for ordinary Yuntai.

1. Yuntai is a "platform" installed on the top of the tripod to fix the camera (or video camera), and its function is to control the camera's all-round angle to facilitate shooting from different angles.

2. A tripod is a tripod, and the camera is fixed by its tripod head. The two can be disassembled separately, and the same tripod can be installed on different tripods.

3. Yuntai is a part (position) of tripod. A tripod is a multi-part tool that supports cameras or camera-assisted shooting. After the camera or video camera is fixed, the pan/tilt can freely adjust the direction and angle to a suitable degree to shoot.

Pan-tilt is the supporting equipment for installing fixed cameras, which can be divided into fixed and electric pan-tilt. Fixed pan/tilt is suitable for occasions with small monitoring range. After the camera is installed on the fixed pan/tilt, the horizontal and pitching angles of the camera can be adjusted, and the adjustment mechanism can only be locked after reaching the best working posture. The electric pan-tilt is suitable for large-area scanning and monitoring, which can expand the monitoring range of the camera. The high-speed attitude of the electric pan-tilt is realized by two executive motors, which receive the signals from the controller for accurate operation and positioning. Under the action of the control signal, the camera on the tripod head can not only automatically scan the monitoring area, but also track the monitored object under the control of the personnel on duty in the monitoring center.
