The Gitzo G1570M Series 5 Low Profile 3-Way tripod head is a 3-way pan and tilt head designed for professional photographers who require the ultimate in performance, reliability and aesthetics to support their heavier large cameras. The G1570M is engineered with technologically-advanced features guaranteeing the smoothest, most precise control of all three independent axes. The G1570M is made of powerful, ultra-light magnesium and features a large fixed plate and 1/4'' and 3/8'' camera mount. The distance from the top of the tripod to the camera platform is reduced in order to ensure that the camera's centre of gravity is kept close to the middle of the tripod.
