The 1.3 lb Gitzo 2-Way Fluid Head is ideal for bird photography, digiscoping, and video, and because of its built-in fluid cartridges, it provides a very smooth 360° pan and lateral tilt of -60°/+90°. The spring-loaded counter balance system maintains balance with a fixed drag, but tension can be dialed-in for more resistance. The head can support cameras and spotting scopes that weight up to 13.2 lb, and each axis locks down with its own independent locking knob. The 2.2" tall head is Arca-type compatible, and it includes a rubberized quick release plate with a standard 1/4"-20 male thread and a removable panning bar.

Gitzo GH Series Video Head Reviews
Light and compact
So excited to be using this fluid head now on my Gitzo Carbon fiber Series 2 Mountaineering sticks - SO much lighter than what I've been using for years! It's a pleasure now to carry my tripod to video shoots; for so long it's been nearly torture, as the weight was just considerably more than this new setup. A colleague that I was filming with last week had this setup, and I swore that when I returned after the trip, I would get the same combination for myself. So glad I did!!!
SECURE and STABLE scope head. Lightweight and strong as an OX.
I purchased a 95mm lens for my ATX Swarovski scope and decided to replace my current scope head used for my 65mm lens to the next larger size due to the 95mm being heavier and purchased this Gitzo 2-way fluid head and so happy I did! I really like the larger plate stabilizing the heavier weight without being massive, the two adjustments wheels streamline set up FAST viewing out in the field. Hands down it’s now my favorite scope head to date.
