Gitzo Series 1-5 Aluminum Quick Release Plate, Extra Long

The new GS5370XLC extra long C profile quick release plate is 200 mm long and it is specifically dedicated to wildlife, sport and action photography. It allows to finely balance your equipment on the support for a more precise shooting action. It is the ideal complement to the Systematic head GH5380SQR, the Series 3 center ball head GH3780QR and any other Gitzo equipment compatible with C profile QR plates. The plate includes 2 screws for both 1/4" and 3/8" sizes. 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.
