A head for mounting a camera or other instrument on a tripod or jib, which includes an elongated base plate mountable on a tripod or a jib for a panning motion, a support column extending vertically from the top surface of the base plate, a carrier arm having a longitudinal axis extending between its first and second ends and being pivotably mounted at its first end to the top of the support column, an instrument platform movably mounted on the carrier arm, and a tilt mechanism operatively connected to the instrument platform for both gross and fine control of the tilt of the instrument platform. The tilt mechanism includes a conventional pan and tilt handle attached to a rotatable tilt shaft and a belt-driven, fine control mechanism mounted to the support column and operatively connected to the tilt shaft.
