Review of Gitzo Head
Having used the Gitzo Head for some weeks now I can finally write my review on this product. We all know that Gitzo products are the very best and this is no different, a top quality head from Gitzo.
I have been using it on my Canon 500 f4 ,it has great easy movement and extremely safe. I have also tried it on macro work and it is superb, very quick and easy to use.
What more can you say about the Gitzo GH5380SQR Head , it will stand the test of time, it is very light and compact and there is no comparison for the work you need from this Head. It is a must for travelling, it is a well made bit of engineering
The systematic head is specifically dedicated to photographers who love to shoot with long and ultra long lenses for wild life, sport and action photography. Long lenses require ultra smooth movements, exceptional locking capabilities, minimized drift angle, “super fast” and intuitive operation. The systematic head features a revolutionary hydraulic locking system placed for the first time inside the ball. It is a completely new concept, not just a reversed ball head
The locking collar moves together with your equipment and you will always find the head controls, while keeping your eye in the view finder. The system allows you to set the friction by means of a button that sets the stroke of the locking collar. The head comes in two versions, quick release and 1/4” disc attachments. A small 1/4” to 3/8” screw adapter is included. The quick release system is lever operated to guarantee a safer and stronger operation.
