The Gitzo G1377M Magnesium Center Ball Head supports cameras up to 17.6 pounds. Gitzo magnesium center ball heads are renowned for their smooth and precise movements and high quality manufacturing. PTFE is applied to the ball and blocking pads to eliminate all traces of jarring and skipping. The result is highly accurate positioning adjustments, even with long tele lenses. The Gitzo G1377M center ball head features a newly developed material for the upper discs of tripods and heads that replaces traditional cork plates. Safe Lock, a special techno polymer that maximizes locking torque, eliminates micro movements and cuts vibration.

Gitzo G1377M Series 3 Magnesium Center Ball Head Key Features

PTFE Low Friction Treatment Eliminates Jarring and Skipping

PTFE is a special treatment that generates a unique ultra-smooth surface and dramatically reduces friction between moving parts. This treatment bonds strongly with metal surfaces and ensures long-lasting performance. PTFE is one of the lowest-friction materials known to science, with the same friction coefficient as melting ice. On the G1377M ball head, the ball sits on PTFE bushings for smooth, precise and fine movements.

Fixed Camera Platform With Reversible 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch Screw

The Gitzo G1377M is supplied with fixed round plate with reversible 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch camera fixing screw.

Safe Lock

Safe Lock is a special techno polymer that maximizes 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.

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.

Aluminum Alloy and Magnesium Construction

In 1996 Gitzo was the first to use Magnesium in camera supports. Magnesium comes in different grades and Gitzo only uses material of the highest grade quality. Mainly used for heads, magnesium offers significant weight savings being 30% lighter than aluminum.
