Gitzo Centre Ball Head Series 4 With Screw Knob (GH4383QD) Summary
The Gitzo Centre Ball Head Series 4 with Screw Knob (GH4383QD) has been precision engineered with Gitzo’s latest technology to provide ultra-smooth movement with zero drift even with long telephoto lenses mounted. Despite weighing just 900g the ball head is capable of supporting 30kg payloads, making it ideal for professional photographers and enthusiasts who shoot outdoor and wildlife photography, birding, landscape and video with large telephoto lenses.
The Series 4 Ball Head is compatible with Systematic 3, 4, and 5 Gitzo tripods providing photographers with a range of options for choosing suitable legs. There is also a Gitzo Series 4 head with lever lock available for users who prefer to lock the camera in place with a lever. Whichever model you choose this is the ultimate Gitzo tripod head which provides the versatility of a ball head with the weight tolerance and pan fluidity of a gimbal type head.
Gitzo Centre Ball Head Series 4 in more detail
For smooth videos and flawless images a dedicated thermo-stable fluid pan cartridge ensures that the most frequently used by axis delivers reliable and seamless fluidity when capturing subjects moving horizontally. The stability offered by the Ball Head Series 4 is also invaluable when using longer focal length lenses, with a few degrees of displacement caused by moving hands equating to metres downrange when shooting through a 600mm lens.
A larger super-smooth coated hollow-sphere ball ensures confident and comfortable use with heavier gear, even in extreme conditions, coping with temperatures between -30° and 70°C. It is also rich in features, with a friction control wheel located within the ball locking knob for precise adjustment and a bubble level to help keep a true horizon.
A 360° independent panning lock provides smooth movement in a fluid cartridge while a short-rotation fast lock assists in getting the perfect shot at a moment’s notice. The whole ensemble is precision manufactured using the highest-quality materials, with high-tolerance steel and aluminium components.
The Gitzo Ball Head Series 4 offers a high load capacity, ultra-smooth movement and rapid friction control, all from a sub 1kg ball head designed and made in Italy. Supplied with the Gitzo’s D profile plates, the Ball Head Series 4 is also compatible with the Arca-Swiss style plates from other brands.

Our Verdict
The Series 4 Centre Ball from Gitzo is ground breaking with its 30kg payload against a low weight of just 900g. It delivers extremely smooth movements and fluidity for heavy duty professional kit, supporting large aperture 400-600mm lenses with ease. Gitzo has developed technology to enable the large hollow sphere ball head to work in conjunction with the independent friction and fluid drag system to assist photographers in getting the perfect shot however heavy their equipment is.
Gitzo D and Arca-Type plate compatibility provide a level of versatility for users with existing plate, L brackets or dedicated lens feet. The ball head is made from aluminium keeping weight down whilst allowing users to continue working in temperatures as extreme as -30°C to 70°C. Fast lock and smooth panning ensure videographers can also benefit from the Series 4 Centre Ball Head. If you’ve been niggled by a tripod head which drifts or simply need a more versatile, heavyweight head this is the ultimate option available on the market at the time of launch.
