1. Gitzo GHF2W
Thanks to the integrated fluid cartridges, it offers very smooth 360° panning and a lateral tilt from -60° to +90°. The spring-loaded balancing system maintains equilibrium with a firm resistance, but the tension can be adjusted for more resistance. The head can accommodate cameras and spotting scopes weighing up to 8.8 pounds, and each axis locks in place with its own independent locking knob. The 2.2-inch head is Arca-type compatible and includes a rubberized quick-release plate with a 1/4"-20 external thread and a removable pan bar.

2. Gitzo Cardan Fluid Head GHFG1
The Gitzo Gimbal Fluid Head combines the smoothness and vibration absorption of a fluid head with the balance and range of motion of a traditional gimbal. It is ideal for wildlife photography and birdwatching, even for extensive observations and with heavy equipment. The head supports up to 17.6 lbs and weighs 3 lbs itself. It has a tilt range of +/- 180° and a full pan range of 360°. Both axes feature independent locks for precise control. Utilizing fluid cartridge technology borrowed from the film and video industry, movements are made smooth and stable. The Whip-Pan system allows for control over the flow rate, providing precise control and maneuverability when tracking at high speeds. The Whip-Pan automatically applies friction without affecting fluid rotation on the pan axis, resulting in realistic motion dynamics without jolts or vibrations. This system also regulates fluidity based on the rotation and tilt speeds for smooth control, whether performing slow or fast turns.
