Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. is there any design difference between the flat and ball version of this head? (other than the ball of course)

A: It is the same from the base up.

Q: 2. The knob on the bottom to release the head is very difficult to grab and apply sufficient torque. It oftens loosens while tilting. Can i replace the knob with the paddle style knob from a Sachtler FSB8t video head? Are these threadings universal? Thanks.

A: Hello,Unfortunately, these threads aren't universal, but they are a standard M8 thread. I can't say for certain if the Sachtler locking knob will work, but if it uses an M8 thread there is a good chance it will. Also, make sure your load doesn't exceed the 11 lb. recommended limit for the GH03, and that the center of balance for the load is over the center of the head. No matter how tightly you lock it down, an overburdened or unbalanced head will shift in the bowl much easier than one that isn't.
