What’s In The Box
- Gitzo Gimbal Fluid Head
- Panning Bar
- Arca-Type Compatible Quick Release Plate
Employing the smoothness and vibration absorption of a fluid head with the balance and range of movement of a traditional gimbal, the Gitzo Gimbal Fluid Head - GHFG1 is ideal for wildlife photography and bird watching, even for extensive observation and with heavy equipment. The head supports up to 8 kgs of gear and weighs 1.3 kgs itself. It has a tilting range of +/- 180° along with a full 360° panning rang, and both axes have independent locks for precise control.
Using fluid cartridge technology, borrowed from the cine and video industry, movements are rendered smooth and stable and a fluidity control system, the Whip-Pan, affords precise control and maneuverability when tracking at high speeds. The Whip-Pan automatically applies friction, excluding the fluid rotation on the panoramic axis, for realistic motion dynamics without shock or vibration. This system also regulates the fluidity depending on rotating and tilt speeds for consistent control regardless if doing slow or high-speed rotations.
The head's control knobs have a soft-touch, ergonomic design and the panning bar is detachable for a more compact form factor when not in use. There is a built-in Arca-type compatible quick release base for extensive compatibility and an Arca-type plate with rubber grips is included. Additionally, the head is constructed from lightweight magnesium and aluminium alloys and finished with Gitzo's trademark.

Gimbal head
Gimbal heads can be stopped without locking no matter how the camera is tilted by adjusting the front-back balance and vertical balance.
Fluid cartridges
The fluid cartridges for pan and tilt produce moderate drag and damping effects and are good at smooth movements that can withstand fine framing adjustments and movie shooting. It comes with a pan bar, which is especially useful for video recording and bird watching. The innovative "whip-Pan" mechanism on the pan fluid cartridge automatically releases the drag during fast pan movements, reducing the risk of moving to a tripod.
Flexible usage
The orientation of the pan heads and the removal can be freely determined according to the equipment installed and the shooting style.
Includes Arca-Swiss compatible plate A
140mm long quick-release plate (Arca-Swiss compatible) is included. The plate lock is a screw knob type and has the flexibility to mount many brands of Arca-Swiss compatible plate.
