This kit includes a series 2 aluminum quick release fluid video head [ G2380 ] and series 2 carbon 6X leveling 3 section tripod [GT2531LVL ]. The G2380 fluid head is specifically designed for the new range of lightweight and compact camcorders and spotting scopes. Pan and tilt locks and separate friction controls are positioned on the same side of the head for ergonomic, fast and precise action. The pan lock is based on a unique system that completely eliminates any unwanted movement at the moment of locking, making the G2380 ideal when exceptional targeting precision over very long distances is needed. Gitzo developed the revolutionary Leveling tripod for photographers who need fast set-up and leveling accuracy. Inside the Leveling tripod’s upper casting is a special free-rotating ball, similar to those normally used in our ball heads. The center column passes through this ball and can both be moved up and down, and be inclined in any direction at any angle up to 15degrees. The inclination and vertical movements are completely independent. This patented system is extremely useful for panoramic, outdoor and wildlife photographers or for bird watching because the Leveling system allows the camera or scope to be set perfectly horizontal easily and quickly when working on uneven ground.
