Gitzo GH1382QD Reviews

Is it worth the price?

This one lets the gitzo tripod collapse to a compact size. All the other heads I tried did not. That’s why I bought it. Being able to pack my tripod in my hard case check-in luggage is important to me.

Solid yet compact

I wanted to compare this to the Acratech that I bought from B&H last year. So far I like it better, except I like the spring loaded locking pin better on the Acratech. My RRS L bracket wouldn’t go on, so I had to unscrew the pin (as per the directions) to use it. Otherwise it’s a great little ball head.
