Will this work with the Gitzo GT1545T?
Will this work with the Gitzo GT1545T?
While the base diameter of the Gitzo GHFG1 Gimbal Fluid Head is larger than the upper disc diameter of the Gitzo GIGT1545T Traveler Series 1 Carbon Fiber Tripod, the two items may still be used with one another. The gimbal head uses the standard 3/8"-16 female tripod socket on the bottom of the head, and the Gitzo GIGT1545T tripod has a reversible 3/8"-16 male tripod thread on the top of the center column, the two items may be used with one another.

Is the center of rotation centered on the optical access or offset, i.e. introducimg parallax error in panoramic multiframe stitch efforts?
The center of rotation is along the optical axis. The plate allows the camera/lens to be moved forward or backward to achieve balance. I shoot 500 mm f/4 and 600 mm f/4 lenses with 1DX cameras on this tripod with excellent results.

Will this head work with a Nikon D750, 200-500mm lens on a Gitzo Traveler 1 tripod?
This is a terrific gimbal and I would highly recommend it to others. However, in response to the specific question asked, I have not used it in combination with any of the items specifically mentioned in the query. I have used it with the Gitzo GT3543XLS tripod and Nikon D850/D810 cameras in conjunction with various lenses and have been very satisfied with the performance of the gimbal with all combinations.

Is this compatible with Oben AC-1451 tripod?
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.

Can you attach a camera body to the Gitzo gimble ...
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
Yes, it will fit, but it will be a close fit. I have a D850 and have tried it on my Nikon lenses.
