Gitzo Series 3 Magnesium Panoramic Disc QR
The Gitzo panoramic disc represents a true step forward in this category. Developed according to the requests and input by professional photographers, it combines a number of innovative characteristics that make it a must-have accessory. The panoramic disc also includes a Quick Release System.
Key Features
- 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.
- Levelling 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 minimised with an outstanding value of 0.03 degrees.
- 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.
- Magnesium Construction
In 1996 Gitzo was the first to use Magnesium in camera supports. Magnesium comes in different grades and Gitzo only uses material of the highest grade quality. It offers significant weight savings being 30% lighter than aluminum. In our magnesium casting every functional bolt and screw works on threads reinforced by high quality steel inserts for a lifetime performance.
