The Gitzo Series 2 Traveler Ball Head with QR Plate features an updated quick-release system that accepts both Gitzo C-profile plates, and Arca-type compatible plates as well. This QR system allows the plate to be snapped into the head from above, a faster alternative to sliding in the dovetail plate from the side.

The Series 2 Traveler combines smooth operation, strong-locking materials, and a compact, lightweight design to provide a low-profile ball head that's small and light enough to earn it a spot in any travel bag. The head can support up to 15.4 lb, while weighing only 1.3 lb, thanks in part to its hollow Bubble Ball, which achieves a significant reduction in weight. Like the bushings, the ball is treated with PTFE, a smooth material that coats the metal ball to enable accurate, low-friction adjustments to your camera's positioning.

This simplified center ball head features a single knob for locking pan and tilt. The head features a full 360° panoramic adjustment range and lateral tilt up to 100° for portrait orientation. The included quick-release plate is Arca-type compatible, and detaches from the head via the double quick-release safety system. Bubble levels on the ball head help ensure your camera will be aligned with the horizon.
