The Gitzo G1278M is made of high quality low weight magnesium.
A built-in spirit level ensures the head is perfectly level.
The secure locking system ensures that equipment cannot accidentally fall off the head, even if it has not been locked down. To remove the equipment and plate, simply press the lock release button and slide the plate out.
Unique non-keyed square plate Keeps any side of the plate parallel to the back or front of the camera and ensures perfect alignment without having to worry how the plate fits on the adapter.
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.
An advanced teflon-coated ball gives smooth, fluid-feeling movements between shots. This coating makes camera positioning adjustments smoother than ever before by eliminating all trace of jarring and skipping.
