Gitzo’s center ball heads are extremely balanced and versatile heads, engineered and designed focusing on ultimate smoothness and precision of the movement and locking. GH1382QD is the medium sized head, designed for Series 0 and 1 Mountaineer tripods, and also fits between the folded legs of Series 2 Traveler tripods. Despite its slim design, it is fully featured including the friction control knob positioned inside the ball locking knob.
It is supplied with the short, Arca-Swiss compatible plate (GS5370SD), but is also compatible with all of Gitzo's D profile plates and fits most Arca-Swiss style plates from other brands.
