Gitzo GHFG1 Fluid Gimbal Head
The Gitzo Fluid Gimbal Head offers smooth stabilisation when using long lenses and scopes in an elegant package. The head mounts on an Arca-Swiss style plate and offers dynamic fluid movement / whip pan shooting. The head maintains smooth operation at low rotation speeds; however at high speeds the whip-pan excludes fluidity, providing free movement.
Key Features: Gitzo Fluid Gimbal Head
- Capture smoother images: The Fluid Gimbal Head allows users to capture smoother images when using telephoto and superzoom lenses, plus other scopes by reducing the shake when zoomed in
- Ideal for wildlife and sports photography: For usages where you are required to use telephoto equipment, the Fluid Gimbal Head provides much needed support
- Dynamic fluid movement / whip-pan shooting: The gimbal head dynamically alters the level of fluidity to the extent that when moving slowly the head works as normal, but when at high rotation speeds the whip-pan instantly excludes fluidity, allowing free movement
