    the one I am buying has just one knob for attaching the camera, is it ok or there must be two of them?
    thanks

    You can get a second one from Gitzo, if you need it. Having two attachment points will give you some extra stability and will prevent the camera from twisting on the head, but it's not absolutely necessary. It also depends on how the tripod holes are spaced. If they are too close together, the knobs will interfere with each other. In that situation, I've used a knob for one hole and a bolt for the other one.

    thank you David, so I must assume that the head originally came with one knob, right?

    Like I said in my previous post I use both holes to attach my 16lb. 11x14 to my head. I use the 1570M magnesium head. Everything is solid as a rock.
