Q: 1. Is the "Arca-type" QR plate/clamp really dimensionally compatible with the Arca-Swiss QR standard? Many QR products claim to be "Arca- compatible", only to find out that they are not dimensionally compatible, but are just the same basic style.

A: The clamp on the Gitzo Gimbal Fluid Head is really compatible with the Arca-Swiss quick release standard.

Q: 2. Can you attach a camera body to the Gitzo gimble head plate? (Nikon D850) to be able to use it with a wide angle lens (without a collar) - I'm trying to move around with as less tripod heads as possible

A: I don't believe it will fit. The side of the camera will most likely hit the vertical shaft of the gimbal.

Q: 3. I am loking to buy gitzo fluid gimbal head for canon 600mm with 1dx mark2 is it sutiable please do suggest thank you

A: Good, regular gimbal heads are designed to move easily and freely in every direction you want to move your lens/camera combination. Fluid heads smooth out, but slow down, freedom of movement. If you are interested in shooting stills of running or flying creatures I suggest you look elsewhere. If your purpose is smoothness of motion, even if that motion prevents you from catching up with some targets, a fluid gimbal may be the way to choose.

Q: 4. Is the gimbal head compatible with the series 2 mountaineer tripod series?

A: I'm currently using this gimbal head with the Gitzo series 3 systematic tripod and I find that it is quite bulky so you may find that it'll be too top heavy and bulky when used with the series 2 mountaineer tripod.

Q: 5. Can the pan handle be moved to the other side from that in the picture (I am left handed and would like to pan with my left hand)?

A: You can reverse the hand on the opposite end of the clamp.

Q: 6. Does the Gitzo Gimbal Fluid Head have a flash bracket that attaches to the head? Will the Wimberly bracket fit on the Gitzo head?

A: Wimberly makes two kinds of bracket. One mounts directly to the head. This probably would not work. Wimberly also makes a bracket designed to fasten on top of Wimberley plates or replacement feet. Assuming you were using the appropriate sized Arca Swiss style plate or foot (Wimberley, Kirk, RRS, or others on your telephoto lens, that style of bracket will work. (It is also a superior design to competitors' flash brackets, in that it can be used with a variety of lens tube diameters, and it can be used with the lens/camera combination even when not mounted on any head!)

Q: 7. I put my 600 f4 on it. Gimbal is smooth but is it suppose to kinda click at the bottom where it would be level? Hard to push?

A: The Gitzo Gimbal Fluid Head does not click at the bottom. Once it has been properly balanced you should be able to tilt it to any angle with weightless freedom.

Q: 8. Will this head fit on Peak Design Tripod? Thanks in advance.

A: No. The following unit offers a integrated ball head that can not be removed.

Q: 9. Will this head fit onto the Gitzo Systematic Series 5 Carbon Fiber Tripod with Arca-Type Series 4 Center Ball Head (BH #GIGK5543LS83 MFR #GK5543LS-83LR)?

A: If you remove the Gitzo GIGH4383LR Series 4 Center Ball Head from the top of the Gitzo Systematic Series 5 Carbon Fiber Tripod with Arca-Type Series 4 Center Ball Head with Lever Release, then yes, you may connect the Gitzo Gimbal Fluid Head to the top of the Gitzo Systematic Series 5 Carbon Fiber Tripod.

Q: 10. Will this work with the Gitzo GT1545T?

A: While the base diameter of the Gitzo GHFG1 Gimbal Fluid Head is larger than the upper disc diameter of the Gitzo GIGT1545T Traveler Series 1 Carbon Fiber Tripod, the two items may still be used with one another. The gimbal head uses the standard 3/8"-16 female tripod socket on the bottom of the head, and the Gitzo GIGT1545T tripod has a reversible 3/8"-16 male tripod thread on the top of the center column, the two items may be used with one another.
