Solid

This tripod head is very solid from the test shots I have made with it. I have not been able to get out and really give it a true test with my waterfall photography due to the drought we have been having in the SE mountains and the wildfires that have resulted.

By THOMAS K.

This tripod head is very solid from the test shots I have made with it. I have not been able to get out and really give it a true test with my waterfall photography due to the drought we have been having in the SE mountains and the wildfires that have resulted.

Become an expert in capturing the perfect shot with the Gitzo Series 1 Traveller GH1382QD Center Ball Head, a pinnacle of stability and precision in the world of photography equipment. This medium-sized head is meticulously engineered to ensure the smoothest movements and most secure locking, making it an ideal choice for both amateur and professional photographers who demand the highest level of control and reliability.

Crafted to complement Series 0 and 1 Mountaineer tripods, the GH1382QD also seamlessly integrates with Series 2 Traveler tripods, nestling perfectly between the folded legs for compact storage. Its slim yet robust design belies a feature-rich profile, including an intuitive friction control knob that is cleverly concealed within the main ball locking knob for a streamlined appearance and enhanced functionality.

The GH1382QD is not only durable and sturdy but also boasts a versatile quick release mechanism, which is a boon for photographers on the move. This system facilitates swift and secure camera changes, ensuring that you never miss a beat, whether you're shooting in a studio or out in the field. The head's impressive 31 lbs load capacity means it can handle a wide array of camera and lens combinations, making it a high-quality, reliable choice for those with heavier gear.

Additionally, the Gitzo head is designed with compatibility in mind, ready to accommodate a variety of plates with similar dimensions. A thoughtful touch is the inclusion of a removable safety pin on the head base, which acts as a safety catch to prevent accidental plate slippage. Should you need to mount other brand plates or require them to slide out without obstruction, the safety pin can be easily removed with the provided key, underscoring the head's adaptability.

In summary, the Gitzo Series 1 Traveller GH1382QD Center Ball Head is a testament to the brand's commitment to quality, offering photographers a versatile, reliable, and high-quality tool that enhances the art of photography. Whether capturing the serene beauty of a waterfall or the dynamic action of a sporting event, this tripod head stands as a steadfast partner in your photographic journey.
