More Info
- Lightweight and strong off center tripod ball head
- Separate 360° Panning movement
- Graduated base for precise panoramic shoots
- Quick Release System (1/4″ screw attachment)
double quick release safety system
The system consists of two pins, one fixed and one manually operated by means of a button, that prevent camera equipment from suddenly dropping out of the head when the quick release locking knob is released. Extremely useful with heavy equipment, long lenses and spotting scopes.
separate friction control
By fine tuning the freedom of movement of the head, friction control makes the head slower and more precise, or faster and looser. This feature also helps to make using heavy equipment or long lenses safer. On ball and fluid head models without separate friction controls, slowly adjusting the lock knobs gives similar results.
safe grip
Safe Grip is a material that gives a safer lock between your camera and the head plate, preventing the camera from moving or slipping. It is used on quick release plates and in applications where the camera equipment is screwed to the support to reduce pivoting and twisting.
separate pan control
When using a ball head, the ability to lock and unlock the panoramic movement independent of front-back or lateral tilt movements is convenient for panoramic photography and when a high level of control is required.
spring assisted double lock
The new center SADL (Spring Assisted Double Lock) is a patent pending system that combines two locking systems in one, that maximizes both locking power and ball smoothness. A high friction metal guarantees a high efficiency lock, the PTFE bushing controlled by a pre-loaded spring maximizes smoothness and control.
leveling bubble
The new leveling system made of three independent leveling bubbles on the quick release plate and one in the ball stem, always guarantee perfectly leveled images. The problem that affects many high quality heads in the market regarding drift angle is absolutely minimized with an outstanding value of 0,03°.
The Gitzo GH5750QR Series 5 Magnesium Off Center Head Quick Release is an exceptionally smooth, professional tripod head made of high-quality, lightweight magnesium. Like the rest of the Gitzo tripod head family, this model ensures easy and rapid camera mounting.
This offset ball head delivers flawlessly smooth performance in all situations, with positive locking for precision and safety. It can point over 90° downwards. The panoramic lock is 3 times stronger than previous models and combines two locking systems in one. The head’s graduated base and independent locking feature enables photographers to achieve perfect panoramic shots. The base enables table-top or extremely low level perspectives, even without a tripod.
The ball’s PTFE-based anodized coating delivers smoother movement. The GH5750QR features independent ball and panning controls, along with a spirit level for precise positioning. The head comes with a Quick Release system that makes mounting cameras even quicker and easier. It securely supports a payload up to 12Kg and weighs just 1 Kg and is recommended for use with Series 5 tripods.
