Abstract

A special connection structure for a gimbal head, comprising an adapter platform provided at an upper end with an adapter platform suitable for mounting and fixing a photographic apparatus and at the other end with a turn knob, an oblique column and a base. A screw for connecting a tripod pedestal is provided in a lower middle portion of the base. A positioning switch protrudes from a side face of the special connection structure. The positioning switch is opened to pitch the oblique column from 0° to 45°, 90° or 180°, and the oblique column is rotated by 180° to allow the oblique column to stand upside down between two legs of a tripod, without disassembling a gimbal head from the tripod, so that the application value of the gimbal head is improved.
