LensCoat® Gitzo Gimbal Fluid Head cover

I love how the cover breaks up the silhouette of the head, making it less conspicuous in the field while keeping the finish safe from scratches. The material feels tough enough to handle a few accidental bumps without adding bulk.

The fit is snug enough that it doesn’t shift during setup, and the way it breaks up the head’s silhouette actually made my rig look less intimidating to birds. It’s already saved me from a couple of clumsy bumps against the tripod legs, which is exactly why I grabbed it.

I was worried about scratching my gimbal head on a tripod leg during transport, but this cover fits snugly and the neoprene material is thick enough to absorb minor bumps. The camouflage pattern does a decent job of breaking up the shape, which is a nice bonus for wildlife photography.
