The Gitzo 3 Way Fluid Head comes with a stiff and ultra-light magnesium body, weight less than 1kg and can safely support a payload of up to 13kg. Patented retractable handles make it the perfect head to carry on outdoor adventures. Equipped with an independent fluid cartridge for each axis.

It features a quick release holder with which the plate (7cm rubberized Arca-Swiss compatible plate included) can be easily released. The width of the quick release holder can be adjusted using the side screw to make it compatible with other plates.
