This is probably a very elementary question for most but...
What is the difference in having a tripod with a ball head vs. a plate?
And what is the difference between a ball head and a pan head?
I live in the middle of no where and have no such thing as a camera store to see these things in person. The only place for me to look at a tripod here is at Walmart which is a big piece of crap. I would like to get a good tripod but it is hard without being able to see them in person and the heads are confusing me. Can anyone point me in the direction of detailed pictures of tripod heads to help me see the difference? Amazon's pictures are not helping at all. Thanks and once again, sorry for the dumb question.
edit: what is a grip head? So many choices, so little information (that I can find anyhow)
