Fluid Heads
Fluid heads are ideally suited to lightweight ENG and prosumer camcorders, enabling
professional, smooth panning and solid locking. They also work well with still photography
when controlling long lenses and creating dramatic telephoto pan effects. Weighing a mere
3 lbs., the G2380 is perfect for location work. With fluid control it provides exceptionally
smooth pans and tilts. Friction for both pan and tilt planes is fully adjustable to perfectly
match the weight of your camera. Tightening a knob in the center of the friction control can
also independently lock both movements. A sliding quick-release plate also allows the camera
to be easily mounted and balanced from either the front or the rear, and a built-in secondary
safety catch protects the camera from accidentally sliding off the head. Last, it incorporates a
pan bar that converts in seconds for either right or left-hand operation.
The G1380 has separate pan and tilt variable drag control to produce smooth movement
without detectable stops and starts. A separate pan and tilt lock is included and the sliding
camera plate, used to balance the camera, can be rapidly locked or unlocked from the head
with the camera still attached. A safety release is also incorporated to prevent the camera accidentally falling off. Include six versions color-coded
tension springs for precision balancing for payloads from 2.2 lbs. to 22 lbs... in effect, six heads in one!

Low Profile Heads
Three fluid heads designed from the ground up to be of the highest quality, the G2270M (long
plate), G2271M (compact plate) and the G2272M (QR plate) offer silky smooth movement while
providing precise camera settings. Ideal for photo, bird watching or even mini DV cameras
there is absolutely no jerking when these heads are panned, tilted or levelled. Made
of high-quality, low-weight magnesium, they support equipment up to 12 lbs.
They feature multiple spirit levels to ensure the head is perfectly level. Rubber o-ring
gaskets around the locking bushings keep them securely in place if the side-to-side
tilt handle is removed to save space during transportation. Ergonomically designed pan
and tilt handles have easy to use triangular shaped rubber grips. Side to side tilt handle can be
positioned on the right or left-hand side of the head.
The fixed plate G2270M and G2271M have anti-rotation pins (stored in pre-drilled holes under the head when not in use) to ensur
e the camera will
remain perfectly stable when shooting in portrait mode. Complime
nting this is a large hexagonal thumbscrew on the bottom of the camera locking
screw to make it easier then ever to attach and remove equipment to the head.
The G2272M utilizes a quick-release locking system that even if equipment isn’t securely locked down, will prevent it from fallin
g off the head.
Removing the camera and lens is simple and fast. Simply press the lock release button and slide the plate out.
Normally, when shooting in portrait mode with a low-profile hea
d, up and down tilt is lost. With the G2272M’s square non-keyed QR
plate, the camera
can be positioned in the adapter sideways so that when it’s posi
tioned in portrait mode up and down tilt is available. In additi
on, by keeping any side of
the mounting plate parallel to the back or front of the camera will ensure perfect alignment without having to worry how the pla
te fits on the adapter.
