Must be installed on Traveler legs

I received a 1545 Traveler Gitzo tripod and this head was specifically designed for this series. The top is triangular, so it fits perfectly with the legs. Must be. Got to.

Pros
  • Fits between the folded legs of Series 1 and Series 2 Traveler tripods
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

This is top quality

I have a Gitzo tripod this head is made for, but I tried a less expensive head first and was disappointed. In the past I've disliked the design of the Gitzo heads but this one got great reviews so I gave it a try - it's top notch.

Pros
  • Quick change system built in
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

Shocked I love the Gitzo Ball so much!

I've used Gitzo tripods for a long time, but their ball heads have always struck me as ridiculous at best. For a while, I suffered with the head that came with my Traveler pod simply from the difficulty of finding something else small enough. Gitzo's previous attempt at making an Arca-Swiss compatible CR clip was also a joke, although I generally prefer screw-grip clips, even when lever clips work. my opinion on gitzo heads. It looked like a good head on paper, but I was still very skeptical…

Pros
  • Compatibility with other brand plates
Cons
  • Boring packaging
