So, engineers developed a device called a &#8220;geared head&#8221; that moved the tripod head on its vertical and horizontal axes via two wheels attached to gears. One wheel controlled the camera&#8217;s tilt \u2014 the other its pan.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"geared-head-vs-fluid-head\">Geared Head vs. Fluid Head<\/h3>\n<p>Skill with these new geared heads became a requirement for camera operation in Hollywood. Cam ops were eager to show off their skills by such tricks as attaching a piece of chalk to the tripod head and writing their names in cursive.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_124445\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/geared-head-operation.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-124445\" class=\"wp-image-124445 size-full\" title=\"Geared Head Operation\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/geared-head-operation.jpg\" alt=\"Geared Head Operation\" width=\"755\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/geared-head-operation.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/geared-head-operation.jpg?resize=300,167 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/geared-head-operation.jpg?resize=270,150 270w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/geared-head-operation.jpg?resize=277,154 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/geared-head-operation.jpg?resize=359,200 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/geared-head-operation.jpg?resize=543,302 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/geared-head-operation.jpg?resize=560,312 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/geared-head-operation.jpg?resize=150,83 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-124445\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The geared head offered controlled, smooth camera movements at a time when cameras were increasing in size.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>When smaller cameras came along in the &#8217;60s and &#8217;70s, the fluid head took over from the geared head because it was cheaper to produce and took less specialized skill to operate. However, the geared head continued to be in use because of the smooth, controlled movements it offered.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"operation-and-cost\">Operation and Cost<\/h3>\n<p>I set out to learn how to use the geared head, never having operated one before. It was initially frustrating, like controlling a camera with an etch-a-sketch, but I was able to gain dexterity after a couple hours.<\/p>\n<p>The main limitation to learning the geared head is the availability of a unit to practice with. The industry standard \u2014 ARRIHEAD \u2014 costs over $20,000 to buy and rents out for around $200 a day. I was able to borrow a cheaper, off-brand unit that I used to familiarize myself with the controls, without spending a ton of money.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_124444\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/laser-pointer.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-124444\" class=\"wp-image-124444 size-full\" title=\"Laser Pointer Exercise\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/laser-pointer.jpg\" alt=\"Laser Pointer Exercise\" width=\"755\" height=\"419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/laser-pointer.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/laser-pointer.jpg?resize=300,166 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/laser-pointer.jpg?resize=270,150 270w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/laser-pointer.jpg?resize=277,154 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/laser-pointer.jpg?resize=359,199 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/laser-pointer.jpg?resize=543,301 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/laser-pointer.jpg?resize=560,311 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/laser-pointer.jpg?resize=150,83 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-124444\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">By attaching a laser pointer to the geared head, you can practice tracking using the wheels.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I started by attaching a laser pointer to the unit and tracing a simple square on the wall. Once I could do that successfully, I moved on to the infinity symbol, which took around an hour to trace consistently.<\/p>\n<p>Once I had some success, I rented a pro-level geared head for a weekend and tried various shots. After some adjusting to the better, smoother controls, I was able to shoot with the camera and nail shots after one or two takes.<\/p>\n<p>It took close to five hours of total practice time to get an acceptable shot on the third take, but this was spread over a couple of weeks. I have no doubt that if someone was serious about operating a geared head, they could develop a professional level of skill pretty quickly.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Cover image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arri.com\/en\/camera-systems\/pro-camera-accessories\/mechanical-accessories\/arrihead-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">ARRI<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Interested in the tracks we used to make this video?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/33QCP0d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Saint Tropez<\/a>&#8221; by Biba Dupont<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2OMqBRM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Baton Rouge<\/a>&#8221; by Biba Dupont<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/33QCZ7P\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Lo Fi Highway Night<\/a>&#8221; by Trending Music<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2qhRfIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Desire<\/a>&#8221; by Trending Music<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2rUsZx2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Retro Dreams<\/a>&#8221; by Jericho Studio<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2Yd3Lpu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Calling Your Name<\/a>&#8221; by Magnetize Music<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Looking for more film and video production tutorials?
