Gitzo GHF2W 2 Way Fluid Head
The Gitzo 2 Way Fluid Head provides the highest performance for birdwatchers and digiscopers with medium-sized spotting scopes, as well as for wildlife photographers and videographers using premium CSC or DSLR cameras with lenses up to 200mm. Birdwatching requires support equipment with specific features, but almost all the heads used by birdwatchers are video- or photo-dedicated supports that are usually larger, heavier and more complicated than they ideally need to be. Uniquely, the Gitzo 2 Way Fluid Head has been developed with a single objective in mind: to fully satisfy both birdwatchers and wildlife photographers shooting with up to medium telephoto lenses, as both are very similar needs.
Key Features
- Dedicated to birdwatching and wildlife video/photography
- Extremely strong, yet compact and lightweight
- Fluid cartridges for smooth and stick-sleep free movement
- Always balanced equipment thanks to the counterbalance
- Rubberised Arca-swiss compatible plate included
