Gitzo G1570M Series 5 Magnesium Low Profile Head Key Features

Ultra-Light Magnesium Castings

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.

Low profile heads provide solid support and flexibility for large format and video cameras. The distance from the top of the tripod to the platform is reduced to ensure that the center of gravity of the camera is kept over the middle of the tripod to avoid the possibility of overbalancing.

Ultra Accurate 3-Way Movement

Low profile heads are engineered with high tech solutions to guarantee the smoothest and most precise control of all three independent axes.

Large Fixed Camera Platform With 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch Screws

The Gitzo G1570M is supplied with an extra large 6 x 3-3/8-inch fixed camera platform for excellent stability with heavier payloads. The platform features 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch camera fixing screws.

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.
