Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is the "Arca-type" QR plate/clamp really dimensionally compatible with the Arca-Swiss QR standard? Many QR products claim to be "Arca- compatible", only to find out that they are not dimensionally compatible, but are just the same basic style.

A: The clamp on the Gitzo Gimbal Fluid Head is really compatible with the Arca-Swiss quick release standard.

Q: 2. Isn't it a replica of the Swarovski Professinoal Tripod Head (B&H # SWPTH MFR # 49077)? Which is better, or they are just the same but the Gitzo is cheaper?

A: This head started out as an OEM product that Gitzo made for Swarovski, so the two products come from the same factory. The Gitzo head does not have an adjustable drag but rather uses the Whip-Pan feature which is described in the listing overview tab.

Q: 3. Do I need a different plate for the Swarovski ATX 95mm?

A: No plate is needed. The ATX 95mm scope has a built in Arca foot so you will not even use the plate that comes with this Gitzo head (unless you want to use the head with a camera).

Q: 4. Is the gimbal head compatible with the series 2 mountaineer tripod series?

A: I'm currently using this gimbal head with the Gitzo series 3 systematic tripod and I find that it is quite bulky so you may find that it'll be too top heavy and bulky when used with the series 2 mountaineer tripod.

Q: 5. Is this suitable for video video shoot?

A: Yes, you can use this head when shooting video.

Q: 6. Does the Gitzo Gimbal Fluid Head have a flash bracket that attaches to the head? Will the Wimberly bracket fit on the Gitzo head?

A: Wimberly makes two kinds of bracket. One mounts directly to the head. This probably would not work. Wimberly also makes a bracket designed to fasten on top of Wimberley plates or replacement feet. Assuming you were using the appropriate sized Arca Swiss style plate or foot (Wimberley, Kirk, RRS, or others on your telephoto lens, that style of bracket will work. (It is also a superior design to competitors' flash brackets, in that it can be used with a variety of lens tube diameters, and it can be used with the lens/camera combination even when not mounted on any head!)

Q: 7. I am loking to buy gitzo fluid gimbal head for canon 600mm with 1dx mark2 is it sutiable please do suggest thank you

A: Good, regular gimbal heads are designed to move easily and freely in every direction you want to move your lens/camera combination. Fluid heads smooth out, but slow down, freedom of movement. If you are interested in shooting stills of running or flying creatures I suggest you look elsewhere. If your purpose is smoothness of motion, even if that motion prevents you from catching up with some targets, a fluid gimbal may be the way to choose.

Q: 8. Do you have any distributer or retailer in india thank you

A: We are only in New York City and we ship world-wide. If you add your items to a B&H shopping cart, you can calculate the items costs, shipping methods, time for delivery, any taxes and total costs very quickly.

Q: 9. Can you attach a camera body to the Gitzo gimble head plate? (Nikon D850) to be able to use it with a wide angle lens (without a collar) - I'm trying to move around with as less tripod heads as possible

A: I don't believe it will fit. The side of the camera will most likely hit the vertical shaft of the gimbal.

Q: 10. Is this compatible with Oben AC-1451 tripod?

A: As the Oben AC-1451 4-Section Aluminum Tripod has a 3/8"-16 male tripod thread on the top of the center column, yes, you may connect the Gitzo Gimbal Fluid Head, B&H # GIGHFG1, to the center column of the Oben AC-1451 4-Section Aluminum Tripod for your usage needs.
