Gitzo Centre Ball Head, Quick Release, Series 1

Like all the other Gitzo’s Center Ball Heads, the GH1382QD is a perfectly balanced and versatile tripod head, engineered to ensure the ultimate smoothness and precision of movement and secure locking.

The Gitzo Centre Ball Head, Quick Release, Series 1 is Gitzo’s medium-sized professional tripod head designed for Series 0 & 1 Mountaineer tripods. It weighs just 500grams and safely holds 14kg load. Standing at 11.2cm, it’s still compact enough to fit between the folded legs of Series 2 Traveler tripods. Despite its slim design, it is packed with features, including a friction control knob located inside the ball locking knob for precise adjustment. This model features 360° independent panning lock and provides uncompromising ball smoothness since its constructed with high quality, high resistance steel and aluminium components. The supplied quick release plate is kept locked with a screw knob and a bubble level helps photographers keep a straight horizon.

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.
