Gitzo Carbon Fiber Tripods

Gitzo Carbon Fiber Tripod

Perfect photographs call for the equipment that allows you to capture the valuable moments with precision and vibrant colours. If you find yourself often shooting in low-light conditions or needing long exposure times, then investing in a tripod is a must. When you place your camera onto a tripod, you reduce the vibration and say goodbye to blurred images. Moreover, a heavy camera can be a real nuisance to hold up, so a tripod also relieves you of this burden. Gitzo tripods are real workhorses that many professionals use, and people around the world know these photography accessories for their sturdiness and quality.

Gitzo focuses solely on making carbon fibre tripods that combine lightness with extreme levels of rigidity. The tripod models in their Mountaineer collection make use of the innovative Carbon eXact tubes that provide even more rigidity than ordinary carbon tubes. Gitzo has optimised the carbon fibre composition for each tube size as well as the tube diameters.

Gitzo offers three major collections, each one with tripods for a specific purpose. The Mountaineer collection models are extremely rigid and lightweight all-purpose tripods, whereas the Series 0 models are the lightest, and the Series 3 models the sturdiest. The Traveler collection models are perfect for a photographer with a nomadic lifestyle, as they are the most compact ones available. The Systematic models are modular tripods that you can configure exactly to your needs.

The Gitzo tripods work with several different head types. Select a ball head carbon fibre camera tripod if you need to change the camera angle a lot and prefer 360-degree movement. Opt for a simple pan-tilt head for small adjustments. Some pan-tilt head tripods are also carbon fibre fluid head camera tripods that include a miniature hydraulic damping system for smooth and steady motion. Choose a gimbal head when using a heavy telephoto lens.

Gitzo tripods include many clever features for a better photography experience. If you need to quickly change the shooting level and drop to the ground, choose a tripod with a removable centre column. Tripods with built-in hooks allow you to hang a stabilising weight from the bottom of the tripod, which is useful when using heavy lenses in windy conditions or on uneven ground. The interchangeable feet allow you to easily replace the rubber feet with spikes, so you can work even on the toughest ground to tackle.
