The Gitzo G-1570 M low profile head is like an aircraft carrier . I post two pictures of the Gitzo head and the Linhof lower side.
When the camera is fixed on the two clamps, it is firmly secured on the head, even when applying large head movements.
If I need to lower the drop-bed with 72 or 90mm wide angle lenses, (15 or 30 deg.) I just have to insert the Linhof rear QR plate (under the housing) on the Gitzo front clamp, and the drop bed can be lowered. Using two QR clamps secures the camera but allows dropping the bed.
