Gitzo R3 Tripod Head Info Needed
I just bought a older Gitzo R3 (model #370) Pan-Tilt Head. The handles are the flat paddle configuration, the knobs a black plastic. The platform is rectangular, topped with cork, has a slot with a 1/4 inch bolt. I'm guessing maybe 70's or 80's vintage.
I can't find any specs on this head and I'm looking for the maximum load capacity.
I appreciate any information.

I've got one of those in gray rather than black. Works fine.

They are well built functional heads with smooth movements. The extral long handle for front and rear tilt almost looks like it was made for cinema use.
