Gitzo Traveler series 1 tripod

By Frank M.

The Gitzo Traveler series 1 and center ball head are suburb quality. The GITZO G2020 hook does not fit the series 1 tripod contrary to Adorama's representation. DO NOT ORDER the hook.

Just as you'd expect from a brand renowned for its quality, the Gitzo Series 1 Traveller GH1382TQD Center Ball Head is a testament to superior engineering and design. This medium-sized head is not only versatile but also exceptionally balanced, ensuring smooth and precise movements for your photography and videography needs.

Designed specifically for Series 0 and 1 Mountaineer tripods, the GH1382QD also seamlessly fits between the folded legs of Series 2 Traveler tripods. Despite its slim design, it boasts a range of features, including a friction control knob ingeniously positioned inside the ball locking knob for easy adjustments.

The Gitzo Series 1 Traveller GH1382TQD Center Ball Head is also designed with compatibility in mind. It can accommodate other plates with similar dimensions, expanding its usability across different photography equipment.

One of its standout features is the removable safety pin located on the head base. This safety catch is designed to prevent the plate from sliding out, ensuring your camera stays secure. If the safety pin interferes with the mounting of other brand plates or prevents them from sliding out, it can be easily removed with the provided key.

With a maximum load capacity of 24 pounds, this durable, sturdy, and reliable center ball head is a versatile addition to any photographer's toolkit. Its quick-release feature allows for easy setup and adjustment, making it an ideal choice for both professional and amateur photographers.

In conclusion, the Gitzo Series 1 Traveller GH1382TQD Center Ball Head is a high-quality, reliable, and versatile choice for those seeking smooth, precise movement and secure camera mounting.
