The Gitzo G2271M is a low-profile Rationelle head that is efficient and silky smooth due to an advanced built-in fluid-effect system, which makes it not only ideal for photographic use, but also birdwatching and mini DV cameras.
Made of high quality low weight magnesium, the G2271M comes with a fixed short plate (platform) and is designed to carry a maximum capacity of up to 12.2 lb. The G2271M also comes with multiple spirit levels to ensure that the head is perfectly level, while the ergonomically designed pan and tilt handles feature easy-to-use triangular shaped rubber grips. For more convenience, the tilt handles can be positioned on either the left or the right hand side of the head.
The G2271M plate has "anti rotation" pins to ensure that the camera remains perfectly stable when shooting in portrait mode. These anti-rotation pins are stored in pre-drilled holes under the head when not in use. Complimenting this is a redesigned large hexagonal thumbscrew on the bottom of the camera locking screw which now makes it easy to attach and remove equipment to the head.
- Magnesium model which offers weight savings of up to 20%
- Offers +95°/-60° tilt and +100°/-100° side tilt
- Ergonomically designed triangular handgrips ensure that the desired shooting position is securely locked with the minimum of effort

- Multiple spirit levels to ensure that the head is perfectly level

Comments about Gitzo G2271M Rationelle Head:
From the moment I opened the box I could tell the quality that went into manufacturing this head. It is lightweight sturdy and can very easily be adjusted to very small increments. Because of the Handles the head takes up quite a large amount of space so they need to be removed for travel, As such I do not recommend this as a Travel Photographers head, despite its relatively small size.
I Originally bought the head hoping I could use it for both Photography and HDSLR video however their just isn't enough friction on the Tilt to use this even casually as a video head. The weight of an SLR + Lens is just too much to achieve a smooth tilt without counterbalance or friction adjustment.
As a photography head (as it is advertised) It is Magnificent.
