Gitzo G1377M Magnesium Ballhead Overview
New high performance 3 series ball head suitable for loads up to 17.5 lbs. At the heart of this ball head is a precision-machined, Teflon coated aluminum ball for ultra-smooth operation.
The G1377M incorporates a separate friction control which can be set to counterbalance the weight of the camera, giving total control over the finest of adjustments.
This head is supplied with a fixed round plate with reversible 1/4" or 3/8" camera fixing. There are two optional extra quick release adapters available. The standard Gitzo Quick Release Adapter (G1285) and a new Dovetail Quick Release System (G1387) which accepts standard Gitzo, Arca, Graf, Kirk, and Foba plates.
Independent pan and tilt controls lock the head exactly where it is set, without movement. All locking knobs have a rubber coating, for a softer touch and excellent grip.
FEATURES
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.
SAFE LOCK
Safe Lock is a special techno polymer that maximises locking torque and equipment stabilisation. It is used on the upper discs of tripods and heads, and in applications where the equipment is rotated and screwed onto the support to eliminate micro movements and vibration.
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.
