Gitzo GHF2W 2-Way Fluid Head for Wildlife Photographers

Birdwatching requires support equipment with specific features, but almost all the heads used by birdwatchers are video- or photo-dedicated supports that are usually larger, heavier and more complicated than they ideally need to be.

Uniquely, Gitzo 2 Way Fluid Head has been developed with a single objective in mind: to fully satisfy both birdwatchers and wildlife photographers shooting with up to medium telephoto lenses, as both have very similar needs.

Gitzo 2 Way Fluid Head is an extremely compact head with superior fluidity.

Gitzo 2 Way Fluid Head

Designed especially for birdwatchers, digiscopers and wildlife photographers and videographers
Gitzo 2 Way Fluid Head provides the highest performance for birdwatchers and digiscopers with mediumsized spotting scopes, as well as for wildlife photographers and videographers using premium CSC or DSLR cameras with lenses up to 200 mm.

Compactness and reliability

Exceptional performance-compactness ratio
Gitzo 2 Way Fluid Head has a stiff and lightweight magnesium body, weighs less than 0,6 kg and can safely support a payload of up to 6 kg. It is the perfect head to carry outdoors without having to choose between high performance and portability.

Fluidity and versatility

Soft, smooth movements guarantee excellent, consistent performance, even when shooting video.
Gitzo 2 Way Fluid Head makes light work of easily capturing moving objects with unparalleled precision, since its fluid cartridges guarantee smooth, broad movements without stick-slip during observation and shooting, even over a wide range of temperatures.

Switching from capturing pictures to shooting videos is incredibly quick and easy with the Gitzo 2 Way Fluid Head's video configuration, with rapid setup through the integrated pan bar.

Adjustable counterbalance

The counterbalance system and the long Arca-Swiss type plate keep the device balanced throughout the tilt range.
2 Way Fluid Head features a 7 cm rubberized ArcaSwiss compatible plate and a sophisticated, adjustable and highly accurate counterbalance system, which allows photographic equipment to be perfectly balanced, and easily and firmly supported for capturing the sharpest shots.

The Gitzo head is designed to accommodate other plates with similar dimensions. On the head base there is a removable safety pin that acts as a safety catch and helps prevent the plate from sliding out. If this safety pin blocks the mounting of other brand plates or prevents them from sliding out simply remove the safety pin with the key provided.
