Description
The article discusses the new Gitzo quick release plates that come in three different profiles (A, B, and C) and with different features (graduated, anti rotation pin). The new plates come in two sizes (1/4" and 3/8") and have two screws (bigger for long plates). The article also discusses the importance of using the bigger screw when attaching plates to equipment, and how all Gitzo bolts and screws are made of high quality steel.
Gitzo quick release plates come in three different profiles (A, B and C). Each profile is offered in different lengths (short or square, medium and long) and with different features (graduated, anti rotation pin) and attachments (1/4'' - 3/8'').
In the new collection Gitzo unified some 1/4'' and 3/8'' attachment plates into a unique new code that includes 2 screws for both 1/4'' and 3/8'' sizes.
Having two screws available for each attachment size is ideal, above all for long plates, when heavy equipment or long lenses are used.
As a general rule, it is preferable to always use the bigger possible attachment. In any case, even when the smaller screw needs to be used, it always guarantees a high safety standard.
In fact all Gitzo bolts and screws are made of high quality steel.
