Carbon Fiber Tripods
Mountaineer carbon tripods are up to 30% lighter than equivalent alloy tripods without any compromise on strength, stability
or durability. The exclusive manufacturing process ensures stiff, light tubes that are resistant to bending and stable in extreme
temperatures. The grooved carbon rapid center columns prevent rotation, increase stability and include a stainless steel weight
hook. All Mountaineer tripods are fitted with sliding stops, which enable legs to be set at different angles.

◆ Gitzo carbon tubes use an exclusive
process based on pull winding of long
carbon fibers which are precisely wrapped
and combined under high pressure and
temperature with epoxy resin to a 1.5mm
wall thickness.
◆ This manufacturing process ensures stiff,
light tubes resistant to bending, with
superior tensile and compression
strength, and a high degree of stability in
extreme temperatures.
◆ Tripods are constructed using a “screw
thread and glue” dual jointing “H.I.S.”
(Hybrid Interconnection System)
technology pioneered by Gitzo. Provides
greater strength and security on location.
◆ On rapid center column tripods, the
center column locking collar above the
tripod shoulder makes it easier to adjust
the column quickly. The rapid column
can also easily be inverted for an
alternative shooting angle or low level
macro work.
◆ Sport, Reporter and Studex series tripods
are fitted with a grooved center column to
prevent rotation and increase stability.
◆ On geared models, the gear mechanism
allows you to precisely adjust the height
of the column. An anti-rollback system
keeps heavy equipment safely supported,
and can be disengaged by pressing the
secondary lever while winding down.
◆ They provide strength, and a high degree of
stability in extreme temperatures. The tubes
also absorb vibration and withstand fatigue
better than those made by other carbon fiber
tube processes.
◆ Telescopic leg extensions and center columns
are fitted with anti-slippage rubber cush-
ioned locking rings and "wingnut" locks.
◆ All except the G0027 are “Performance”
models fitted with sliding stops that allow the
legs to be set at different angles.
◆ Built-in hook on Sport, Reporter and Studex
series let you hang a stabilizing weight (like a
camera bag) on the bottom of the tripod.
Ideal with long lenses, on uneven ground or
in windy conditions.
G0027 (GIG0027)
Ultra Compact
Carbon Fiber Tripod
The smallest of the carbon fiber series,
the G0027 Ultra Compact tripod is
packed with features. It weighs less
than 1 lb., but will comfortably
support loads up to 5.5 lbs. - ideal for
compact digital and film cameras.
It features a silky-smooth rapid center
column as well as Gitzo’s
unique dual
jointing H.I.S. technology
. This con-
struction technique provides greater
strength and stability. It offers rigidity
for low-angle shooting, and is
extremely portable. It’s 11.8˝ folded
length means it will fit into almost any
accessory bag or briefcase.
Mountaineer Weekend Tripods
Just when you thought traveling with a tripod was too
cumbersome and bulky, Gitzo does it again. Built for travel
photography, and designed for either digital or film cameras, the
3-section G1027 and 4-section G1028 Mountaineer Weekend
tripods combine portability, stability, lightness, and feature a
high maximum load capacity at a very low weight.
G1027 (GIG1027)
Performance Tripod
With a closed length of 16.5˝
and weighing just 1.7 lbs, it
makes packing much easier.
When in the open position,
the G1027 will comfortably
support camera loads up to
6.6 lbs, while providing 47.6˝
of maximum height (with
center column extended).
G1028 (GIG1028)
Performance Tripod
Vertually identical to the
G1027, the G1028 offers
more height than the
G1027. It can comfortably
support camera loads up to
6.6 lbs, while delivering a
maximum height of 54.3˝
(with the center column
extended).
