Gitzo GHF3W 3-Way Fluid Head
The Gitzo GHF3W is a three-way fluid head built from magnesium and aluminum for professional photographers and videographers. It supports a load capacity of 28.6 lb (12.97 kg) and operates reliably from -22°F to 158°F. Independent pan and tilt locks with retractable handles provide precise camera positioning across three axes.
Suited for studio, architecture and landscape work
This head suits users who need smooth 360° panning and fine incremental adjustments on each axis. The quick release mechanism allows fast, secure camera attachment. Buyers who require motorised movement, remote operation or a flat base for leveling without a separate plate should consider other options.
28.6 lb load capacity
The 28.6 lb (12.97 kg) rating determines whether your camera and lens combination can be mounted safely. Exceeding this limit risks instability and damage. Verify the total weight of your rig against this figure before purchase.
