卸下塑膠袋後的產品全貌。

G2180 油壓雲台左側有著超大旋轉鈕及次旋轉鈕，提供超強快速鎖定及水平微調能力。

解除次旋轉鈕，油壓雲台則可進行水平左右旋轉。

油壓雲台主體表面經過消光處理，適合賞鳥、生物生態觀察時，避免產生反光驚擾到被拍攝的主角。

卸下快拆板露出底部卡榫及 GITZO 的標誌採凸蝕刻呈現，搭配一貫典雅的蝕刻紋理，在光線投影下綻放沉著穩重的意象。

在未卸下螺絲及鼻嘴時，油壓雲台可直接架上賞鳥望遠鏡或數位單眼相機；卸下螺絲及鼻嘴時接上控制手柄，油壓雲台則可架數位攝錄影機。

卸下的螺絲裝在控制手柄上，準備鎖上油壓雲台。

控制手柄與油壓雲台組合後，利用控制手柄的操作讓數位攝錄影機的錄影工作更平順。

要固定快拆板，是由右側的黑色圓形旋鈕來控制，向前旋轉則可將快拆板旋緊；要取下快拆板，除了將右側的黑色圓形旋鈕向後旋轉，將快拆板放鬆外，再按下左側的彈簧卡榫後，即可將快拆板取下。

另外，在油壓雲台主體上也有一顆黑色圓形旋鈕，這顆黑色圓形旋鈕的主要功能，是作為啟動油壓刻度平衡系統的開關，旋鈕向右旋為 "ON" 向左旋為 "OFF" ，並且在旋鈕上有一三角指標指向 7 個刻度 "-3 ~ 0 ~ +3"。

啟動油壓刻度平衡系統後，雲台可負載 4 kg 的攝錄影設備，並可平衡偏離雲台中心負載 2.5 kg 的鏡頭，為平衡鏡頭前先將旋鈕向左旋為 "OFF"，接著調整鏡頭的俯仰角度依 7 個刻度調整，再將旋鈕向右旋為 "ON"，直到鏡頭達到平衡不再垂頭為止。

適合搭載 80-200mm f/2.8D、70-200mm f/2.8G、300mm f/2.8D 的鏡頭。

GITZO 的每一項產品都會提供一組產品序號，憑著產品序號即使保證書不見了也可回原廠進行免費檢修及保養。
