Question

A tripod head can move vertically or horizontally. What term describes these movements?

Answer 1

The term for vertical movement of a tripod is Tilt. The term for horizontal movement is Pan.

Vertical movement of the camera angle involves pointing the camera up and down. This sort of movement is achieved so as to follow a subject or show the top and bottom of a still object. With Tilt, you can show how tall objects are. On the other hand, the tripod’s horizontal movement is used for a smooth effect. Like Tilting, it shows a subject or show the distance from left to right between two objects. Pan shots are great for panoramic views .

Answer 2

Answer:

The term for vertical movement of a tripod is Tilt

The term for horizontal movement is Pan

Explanation:

A tripod is a three legged device used to support the weight of an equipment like a camera or video recorder from horizontal and vertical forces. the tripod helps to stabilize the camera/video recorder from wavering/shaking while it is been used to take a video session or a camera session.

The tripod manufacturers made a provision for both vertical and horizontal movement of the tripod by the user. and the movement are described with different terminologies. the term for vertical movement is called Tilt this tilting helps to display how tall an object that is been captured is while the term for horizontal movement is called pan. the panning movement shows clearly (smooth effect) the distance between the object been recorded/captured
