The Gitzo GH3750 Magnesium Off-Center Ball Head replaces the classic Gitzo G1375M head in a completely revisited version. The Gitzo GH3750 head may look like its predecessor, with the same look and design of the high quality magnesium shell, but the internal components and mechanisms are completely re-engineered. The weight has been reduced by 15-17% and state-of-the-art Gitzo technologies have been introduced. The GH3750 supports cameras up to 17.6 pounds.

The ball is now treated with PTFE in order to achieve a greater smoothness and precision. The knobs have a different design that improves ergonomics, allows for a better operation, and contributes to the weight reduction. The true innovation is the locking mechanisms. The panoramic lock has been developed with a new concept and it is now three times stronger than before. This is a terrific advantage when the head is used with lateral arms or with explorer tripods. Also, the ball lock now features a completely new and innovative system. Gitzo introduces a unique and patent pending system that combines two locking systems in one: the Spring Assisted Double Locking System (SADL) guarantees a smoother ball control under every situation and a more effective friction operation.

Off-Center Ball heads are among the most distinctive and respected products in the Gitzo range. This unique head design allows unsurpassed positioning freedom by offering a range of movement impossible with conventional heads. The ideal tool for creative photographers who love to explore unique perspectives, for macro shooting and for use with the reversed column configuration for ground level shooting, the Gitzo GH3750 head features separate pan and tilt controls, a graduated base, a quick release plate and ultra-light magnesium castings. Pan and tilt lock knobs can also control movement friction.

Gitzo GH3750 Series 3 Magnesium Off-Center Ball Head Key Features

Unique head design allows unsurpassed positioning freedom

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 Off-Center Ball Head Design Allows Unsurpassed Range of Movement

Off-Center Ball heads are among the most distinctive and respected products in the Gitzo range. This unique head design allows unsurpassed positioning freedom by offering a range of movement impossible with conventional heads. The ideal tool for creative photographers who love to explore unique perspectives, for macro shooting and for use with the reversed column configuration for ground level shooting.

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.

Fixed Camera Platform With 1/4-inch Screw

The Gitzo GH3750 is supplied with a 2-3/8 x 2-3/4-inch fixed round plate with 1/4-inch camera fixing screw.

Safe Grip

Safe Grip is a material that gives a safer lock between your camera and the head plate, preventing the camera from moving or slipping. It is used on quick release plates and in applications where the camera equipment is screwed to the support to reduce pivoting and twisting.

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.

Ball Friction Setting

Pan and tilt lock knobs can also control movement friction.
