The Pistol Grip head is ideal for dynamic shooting scenarios, offering a lightweight and streamlined design that enhances ease and flexibility with one-handed operation. Unlike most ball-style tripod heads, its mechanism is simpler and more convenient.
Interestingly, the Pistol Grip's design was inspired by the control stick of an ultralight aircraft. Floyd Green, an experienced pilot of helicopters and small personal aircraft, adapted the intuitive squeeze-to-operate motion for use in a tripod head, enhancing its usability.
The Gen 2 Pistol Grip advances this concept further with the integration of the Arca-Swiss/Outdoorsmans combo clamp system. This updated head is compatible with both Outdoorsmans plates and any Arca-Swiss style plate, offering greater versatility.
