The difference between handle pan-tilt and spherical pan-tilt

There are obvious differences between handle pan/tilt and spherical pan/tilt in appearance design, usage scene, stability, portability and price.

1. design: the handle pan/tilt is equipped with three long adjusting handles, which makes its appearance more unique. Spherical Yuntai, as its name implies, is spherical in shape, with metal rings and knobs at the upper part and the main body of Yuntai at the lower part.

2. Usage scene: The handle pan/tilt is usually suitable for professional shooting, especially for heavy photographic equipment, such as heavy technical cameras. Because of its unique design, spherical pan-tilt is more suitable for temporary shooting scenes, such as shooting scenery and urban scenery.

3. Stability: the handle pan/tilt is more stable and can provide more accurate and firm support. Spherical panning/tilting may be poor in this respect.

4. portability: because the handle structure is complex and difficult to adjust, the handle pan-tilt is not as light as the spherical pan-tilt

5. Price: Due to the complexity of design and manufacture, the handle pan/tilt is usually very expensive. Spherical ptz is relatively cheaper and more easily accepted by the public.

Generally speaking, handle pan/tilt and spherical pan/tilt have their own advantages, and which type of pan/tilt to choose depends on your specific needs. If you have high requirements for shooting stability or use heavy photographic equipment, then the handle pan/tilt may be a better choice. And if you pay more attention to portability and price, or shoot in a makeshift scene, then the spherical pan/tilt may be more suitable for you.
