Gitzo G2270M Series 2 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.

Unique Low Profile Head Design Provides Solid Support and Flexibility

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. The Gitzo G2270M Low Profile Head features fluid cartridges for ultra accurate movement with minimal effort.

Long Fixed Camera Platform With 1/4-inch Screw

The Gitzo G2270M is supplied with an extra long fixed camera platform for excellent stability with larger payloads. The platform features 1/4-inch camera fixing screw.

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.

Levelling Bubble

The levelling bubble helps you to get your photographs, film or scope viewing perfectly horizontal or vertical. Gitzo's production staff set all levelling bubbles by hand in order to ensure 100% accurate level indication.
