Key Features
Safe Grip
Safe grip is a material that gives a safer lock between your camera nad the head plate, preventing the camera from moving or slipping. It is used on quick release plate and in application where the camera equipment is screwed to the support to reduce pivoting and twisting.

Double Quick Release Safe System
The system consists of two pins, one fixed and one manually operated by means of a button, that prevent camera equipment from suddenly dropping out of the head when the quick release locking knob is released. Extremely useful with heavy equipment, long lenses and spotting scopes.

Birdwatching Fluid Cartridge
A fluid cartridge consists in a system made with two parts that slide one on the other. Inside the system is included a special fluid that controls the movement and makes it extremely soft, “fluid” and smooth.
The cartridge’s inner design is very important and if well designed allows maximum movement control yet minimizes cartridge weight and size. Gitzo uses a special fluid that guarantees a consistent performance over a wide range of temperatures.

Reversible Handless
Handles can removed and repositioned or rotated in different positions. This feature greatly increases a head’s versatility and is particularly appreciated by left handed users.

Single Lock
Single lock is the other specific innovation for birdwatching. Pan & Tilt movements are locked and frictoned in parallel by a single large knob, making head control simple, fast and effective as never before.
