movements. Additional features coming soon will

High-quality controls for your tripod, even at -30°C
P
remium Italian design doesn’t come cheap, but neither does top build quality and
technological smarts. Gitzo’s new 3-Way Fluid Head will appeal to tripod owners looking
for precise three-axis control, plus the reassurance of a friction control system that
will keep a camera setup locked in temperatures as low as -30°C (-22°F). The 3-Way Fluid Head
has an ultra-light but very strong magnesium body; it weighs less than 1kg but can support
a camera and lens combination weighing up to 13kg. Connection comes via a 7cm
rubberised Arca-Swiss type plate and quick release holder.
