What sets the Gitzo GHF2W 2-Way Fluid Head apart is its unique design and superior functionality, specifically tailored for wildlife photographers and birdwatchers. This compact yet sturdy piece of equipment is engineered to meet the unique needs of those using medium telephoto lenses, offering an exceptional performance-to-compactness ratio.The GHF2W 2-Way Fluid Head is a testament to Gitzo's commitment to quality and durability. Crafted from lightweight magnesium, it weighs less than 0.6 kg, yet can securely support a payload of up to 6 kg. This makes it an ideal companion for outdoor photography, blending high performance with portability.One of the standout features of this fluid head is its 2-way fluid system, which ensures smooth, broad movements without stick-slip during observation and shooting, even across a wide temperature range. This system guarantees excellent, consistent performance, making it easier to capture moving subjects with unparalleled precision.Switching from photography to videography is a breeze with the GHF2W 2-Way Fluid Head's video configuration. The integrated pan bar allows for rapid setup, enhancing its versatility and making it a valuable asset for both photographers and videographers.The adjustable counterbalance system, paired with a long Arca-Swiss type plate, ensures the device remains balanced throughout the tilt range. This sophisticated system allows your equipment to be perfectly balanced, providing firm support for capturing the sharpest shots. The 7 cm rubberized Arca-Swiss compatible plate is designed to accommodate other plates with similar dimensions, adding to its adaptability.For added safety, the base of the head features a removable safety pin that prevents the plate from sliding out. This pin can be easily removed with the provided key if it interferes with the mounting of other brand plates. With the Gitzo GHF2W 2-Way Fluid Head, you can focus on capturing the perfect shot, knowing your equipment is reliable and secure.

A nce little fluid head if it is used for a spotting scope or "very light" video setup.  I know watching the video's that this is more aimed at the birding community. I was looking for something low profile to use on the mount of a LensCoat Bean bag and the Sony a7R5 and 200-600 OSS. I am right at the weight limit of this head.  So it's really "not so good" at close to the maximum ratings. I found the counter balance absolutely useless. But again if you have a much lighter rig it may workout for you
