The counterbalance system is adjustable with six interchangeable springs included to cover camera weights from 2.2 to 22 pounds (1 to 10kg). In case of loss of any of the springs, a complete spring set is available including spare spring cover, bolt, tools and instructions. The head comes with one pan bar reversible for right and left-handed users. The quick release plate adapter features a safety release button to prevent the plate accidentally falling out.

Gitzo G1380 Series 3 Pro Video Fluid Head Key Features

Adjustable Counterbalance System With Six Interchangeable Springs

The G1380 comes with six interchangeable balance springs for different camera weights: 2.2 pounds (1kg), 4.4 pounds (2kg), 11 pounds (5kg), 17.6 pounds (8kg), 19.8 pounds (9kg) and 22 pounds (10kg).

Double Quick Release Safety 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.

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.

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 for panoramic photography and when a high level of control is required.

Separate 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. On ball and fluid head models without separate friction controls, slowly adjusting the lock knobs gives similar results.

Reversible Handles

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

Levelling Bubble

The levelling bubble helps you to get your photographs, film or scope viewing perfectly horizontal or vertical. Gitzo's production staff set all levelling bubbles by hand in order to ensure 100% accurate level indication.

Aluminum Alloy Construction

For the cast components, Gitzo uses top quality aluminum alloys and gravity casting -- more expensive than pressure casting, but able to guarantee that components are free from internal air bubbles that could compromise solidity and durability.
