Gitzo Heads Off-CenterThese new Gitzo heads may look like their predecessors but the internal components and mechanisms are completely re-engineered. The Spring Assisted Double Locking System (SADL) guarantees a smoother ball control under every situation and a more effective friction operation. The weight has been reduced by 15-17%and new Gitzo technologies have been introduced. The sphere is now treated with PTFE in order to achieve a greater smoothness and precision. The knobs have a different design that improves ergonomics, allows for a better operation, and contributes to the weight reduction .The true innovation is the locking mechanisms. The panoramic lock has been developed with a new concept and it is now 3 X stronger than before.
