360 Degree Rotation Camera Tripod Heads for GoPro

Capture All the Angles With a 360 GoPro Tripod Mount

GoPro has been manufacturing action cameras, editing software, and photography accessories such as tripods and head mounts for years. If you own one of their Fusion cameras and would like to purchase a head mount that can use software to capture footage from all possible angles, then a 360-degree tripod accessory may meet your needs. Learning about the features of these products and how to install them can help you find the right one for you.

Most tripod heads are divided into types according to how you can attach them to the device. If you are searching for a head that has specific attachments, some types you might find include:

• Pan and tilt: These heads have a dedicated axis for panning and one for tilting. You will usually twist these heads to unlock them and position them properly.
• Panoramic: You may wish to use a panoramic tripod head if you want to shoot a rapid sequence of photos around the camera lens. This characteristic may help you create a panorama by fixing the point of rotation. You can then use software to put the images together.
• Ball: Ball heads are smaller than some other attachments but still allow for full 360-degree rotation. They usually have a screw attachment to lock them into place.

The precise features you have will depend on the specific model you choose. Some of the heads available to you may have buttons that allow them to interact with the company's Fusion camera or some of their other models. Common features you might discover include:

• Power switches: These switches allow you to turn the camera on and off.
• Mode switches: These switches may interact with your camera to change the viewing angles or shooting modes. You may wish to use a mode like VR (vibration reduction) during filming.
• Speed switches: These switches may allow you to use alternate camera speed modes such as fast, slow, time lapse, or regular.

If you have a Fusion camera, you may have access to OverCapture. This tool may allow you to edit spherical media and convert them into more traditional footage. You may wish to use this feature if you are filming with a 360-degree tripod but want to change how your film displays on different screens to a group of friends and family. Some of the features of OverCapture may include:

• Screen orientation.
• Touchscreen navigation.
• Changing the aspect ratio.
• Playback and editing controls.
• Reframing 360-degree content.
