Gitzo GIGH4383LR Series 4 Center Ball Head – Built for Precision & Power
The Gitzo GIGH4383LR Series 4 Center Ball Head is a professional-grade support system designed for serious photographers using heavy camera setups. With a massive load capacity of 66 lb (30 kg), this head is ideal for wildlife, landscape, and studio work where absolute stability and fine control are essential.
Engineered for Strength and Compatibility
Crafted from high-grade materials, the GH4383LR is compatible with Gitzo Systematic Series 3, 4, and 5 tripods. Its compact height of just 4.9 inches and 2 lb weight make it both powerful and portable. The Arca-type compatible quick release with a lever lock provides secure mounting with fast camera changes.
Fluid Motion with Tungsten Disulfide Coating
The ball is coated in tungsten disulfide, a high-performance material that enhances smoothness and minimizes friction. This ensures buttery-smooth ball movement, even with heavy lenses, reducing the risk of sticking or skipping during adjustments.
360° Pan with Independent Locking Controls
A dedicated panning lock allows for 360° movement without affecting the ball position—perfect for panoramic shots. The friction control dial is integrated into the main locking knob, enabling precise tension adjustments for fine-tuned positioning.
