With the new generation of center ball heads launched during 2008, Gitzo brought into the market a wholly new approach in terms of design, performance and technology. Starting from these new standards, Gitzo developed a ?simplified? center ball head, specifically conceived for travelling. The new series 2 Traveler center ball head combines lightweight and compactness with a lot of the innovative features of the top of the range heads. First of all the ball is the revolutionary Gitzo patent pending ?Bubble Ball? PTFE treated, mounted on PTFE bushings. Apart from the dramatic weight reduction achieved, this beautiful sphere guarantees an exceptionally smooth operation. Also the locking system is the Gitzo unique and patent pending Spring Assisted Double Lock (SADL) that combines two locking systems in one, maximising both locking power and operation smoothness. Thanks to this revolutionary system the Traveler head guarantees a safe lock up to 7 kg (15.4lbs) measured accordingly to Gitzo standard (17.5 kg-38.5 lbs if measured accordingly to competitors standard). The head body is made of cast magnesium and it is designed, like all Gitzo latest development products, with advanced 3D modelling software to achieve the maximum structural strength with the minimum weight. The head features a leveling spirit level inserted in the ball stem, while the quick release version features three additional spirit levels in order to always guarantee perfectly levelled images. Besides this, the quick release includes a new lever operated quick release plate locking system and the traditional double safety system. Features: |  | LEVELLING BUBBLE - The levelling bubble helps you to get your photographs, film or scope viewing perfectly horizontal or vertical. Gitzo?s production staff set all levelling bubbles by hand in order to ensure 100% accurate level indication. | |
|  | | 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. | |
|  | | SAFE LOCK - Safe Lock is a special techno polymer that maximises locking torque and equipment stabilisation. It is used on the upper discs of tripods and heads, and in applications where the equipment is rotated and screwed onto the support to eliminate micro movements and vibration. | |
|  | | BUBBLE BALL Gitzo has now developed a new exclusive technology that enables us to produce high quality, completelyround hollow spheres, with a ultra thin wall, for an incredible weight reduction. Gitzo Bubble Ball alsofeatures a perfected PTFE treatment that further reduces the surface micro roughness for the ultimateshooting experience and accuracy. | |

|
 | | 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.? |
