Gitzo 3-Way Fluid Head in More Detail
It features a quick release holder with which the Gitzo GS5370DR plate (7cm rubberised Arca-Swiss compatible plate included) can be easily released. The width of the quick release holder can be adjusted using the side screw to make it compatible with other plates. To fix-in a plate (and camera) just a single firm pressing down is needed against the quick release holder.
Also the new 90° rotatable plate holder allows greater working versatility and framing. Not only does it helps switch from portrait to landscape, it also makes it very easy to shoot overhead and below. This rotation prevents collision with Gitzo carbon fibre tripods like the Systematic and Gitzo Mountaineer, which have a larger spider.
The smart rotating sprit level supports accurate framing on all axes. The spirit level can easily be repositioned to suit the camera’s position. The 3 Way Fluid Head was designed respecting Gitzo’s unmistakably elegant and clean style, which represents the industry’s standard for excellence.
