Gitzo carbon fiber and light aluminum alloy tripods are designed for every application in the studio on location. Each tripod
has been designed especially to withstand a specified maximum weight of equipment, which is assessed as being placed above
the center of gravity of a fully extended tripod. There are also two styles of tripods—Standard or Performance. Standard style
tripods have one fixed leg angle spread to ensure the center column is always vertical at a given leg extension and are rock
solid. Performance styles are fitted with sliding stops, which enable the legs to be individually set at different angles.
Mountaineer: The original carbon fiber tripods, the
Mountaineers offer the most extensive range. 30% lighter than
traditional aluminum tripods, while retaining strength and
torsional rigidity - the strongest in their class.
Leveling: The revolutionary Gitzo Leveling tripods have a
ball joint mounted center column designed to let you get your
camera perfectly level simply by adjusting column inclination
instead of having to set each leg individually. The rougher
the terrain, the more you’ll notice how much the Leveling
mechanism helps you get shooting quickly and accurately.
Explorer: The most versatile tripods in the Gitzo range,
Explorer is ideal for photographers working in the field. They
will will hold your camera steady in places you might never
have thought of and let you capture pictures previously
beyond your horizons.
Systematic: The Systematic range is the choice of the
professional; it lets you construct a tripod to suit your needs.
Choose your tripod legs and add a rapid or geared center
column, bowl interface, levelling base or flat plate depending
on your application. Some models allow interchangeable feet
to anchor your tripod on any surface.
Gitzo tripods, monopods, heads and accessories are acknowl-
edged by professionals the world over as setting the industry’s
standards for excellence. The classic Gitzo style, combined with
today’s space-age materials and modern ergonomic designs
keeps Gitzo at the forefront of camera support system design.
No gimmicks and no compromise on quality. High strength
lightweight aluminum alloy, carbon fiber tubes and magnesium
alloys ensure absolute stability and effectiveness. In addition,
tine tolerance in the assembly and smooth control, ensure that
Gitzo tripods and heads are engineered to withstand the most
vigorous handling. Gitzo products are versatile and timeless.
A Gitzo tripod purchased over 30 years ago still remains
compatible with accessories available today and with Gitzo’s
tried and true design, yesterday’s tripod can be serviced today!
Classic: Used by professionals around the world, Classic aluminum
tripods are individually hand assembled with painstaking care using the
finest high strength alloys, providing uncompromising support.
Basalt: The innovative minds of Gitzo design engineers have
brought forth the world’s first basalt tripod range. Basalt is as tough as
aluminum but much lighter, is better at absorbing vibrations ans is also
recyclable. Lightweight and incredibly strong, all models are individually
hand-assembled so there’s absolutely no compromise in quality.
