Gitzo GH2781QR Features

  • Spring-Assisted Double Lock: The new center SADL (Spring Assisted Double Lock) is a patent pending system that combines two locking systems in one, maximizing both locking power and ball smoothness.
  • Separate Pan Control: When using a ball head the ability to lock and unlock the panoramic movement independent of front-back or lateral tilt movements is convenient when a high level of control is required.
  • Double Quick Release Safety System: The Quick Release 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.
  • Friction Control: By fine tuning the freedom of movement of the head, friction control makes the head slower and more precise or faster and looser. This feature also helps to make using heavy equipment or long lenses safer.
  • Safe Grip: Safe Grip is a material that gives a safer lock between your camera and the head plate, preventing the camera from moving or slipping. It is used on quick release plates and in applications where the camera equipment is screwed to the support to reduce pivoting and twisting.
  • Leveling Bubble: The new leveling system is comprised of three independent leveling bubbles on the quick release plate and one in the ball stem, which always guarantee perfectly leveled images.
  • Bubble Ball: Gitzo has now developed a new exclusive technology that enables the production of high quality, completely round hollow spheres with an ultra thin wall for an incredible weight reduction.
