The Fluid cartridge technology familiar from the video world is applied in the new Fluid Gimbal Head model for the first time. It dampens vibrations and guarantees smooth movement throughout observation and shooting, even with very large lenses.
The Fluid Gimbal Head cartridge also has an innovative fluidity adjustment mechanism, the Whip-Pan system. At high rotation speeds, the whip-pan immediately shuts off the liquid, allowing free, fast movement without lifting the stand from the ground.
Perfect balance
This essential accessory balances the camera, lens or telescope to their natural center of gravity. Horizontal and vertical balancing makes it possible to achieve perfect balance even with heavy equipment, with a payload of up to 8 kg.
Perfect balancing is also ensured by the built-in Arca-Swiss-style compatible quick-release base and the new long plate with Arca-Swiss-style rubber grips for easy handling.
Design and functionality
Clean and harmonious lines, Gitzo's distinctive Noir D'cor finish and extreme attention to detail meet the latest technical innovation. Its stiff yet lightweight magnesium body is the result of a combination of high-pressure die-casting allowing for a low profile and a solid, streamlined design, giving the head a very strong structure.
