Leofoto GW-01 three-way geared head with quick-release plate
When to choose it
The GW-01 is for framing that benefits from small changes, such as squaring the camera to a row of products without shifting the whole composition. Use a star-shaped control to set an axis quickly and the geared knob for the final adjustment. Each movement has its own controls and scale, which gives you a position to return to after moving the camera.
Check both mounting faces before ordering. The listing shows a 3/8-inch base attachment and a plate with a 1/4-inch camera screw. Leofoto lists the receiver as Arca-compatible. If you intend to keep a different brand's plate installed on your camera, verify the exact plate and receiver pair first.

Fit and buying advice
Use the supplied plate if your existing plate's fit is uncertain. The retail specification and feature bullets give different load ratings, so the listing does not establish a single figure for sizing a heavy rig.
Care Use the scale markings to note positions you need to reproduce. Support the camera when releasing an axis for a large move.

Questions about this accessory
Can I move to a rough angle without winding the fine knob all the way?
Yes. Each axis has a snap-lock control for a larger adjustment and a separate geared control for the final framing.
What is the useful difference from a direct three-way head?
Both isolate directions, but the geared control is useful for incremental adjustments when the camera is already close to the intended angle.
Can I rotate the camera into portrait orientation?
Leofoto documents up to 90 degrees of sideways tilt. Check the clearance for connected cables and the camera grip before tilting.
