Gitzo Series 0 Basalt Tripod – 3 Section G-lock GT0931 is on sale and available from our online store. OpticsPlanet, Inc is an Authorized US Distributor for Gitzo Tripods . Using the experience gained working with other advanced composite materials has made Gitzo the first and only manufacturer of a new generation of tripods that use Basalt fiber tubes.

Basalt tube has most of the features of carbon fiber, like high thermal and dimensional stability and reduced weight (20% lighter than aluminum). Like 6X, it is engineered to match Gitzo‘s performance standards. Our Basalt tubes have a 1.2mm thick wall and a 3-crossed layer structure with built in Anti Leg Rotation (ALR). The performance and price of Basalt tripods puts them between aluminum and high performance Carbon 6X.

This new design is destined to be the year’s most popular professional tripod. It has a unique style and is highly versatile. Its legs are made from seamless aluminum tubing for lightness and rigidity. The leg surfaces are finely polished twice, giving the ultimate in lock ability and agility, before finally being anodized in clear aluminum or black finish. The solid parts are finished in epoxy hammer-finish, which is stove-enameled at 300 degrees. Only the finest materials are used, typified by the selection of French-made high-strength carbon fiber tubing commonly used in aerospace engineering. It’s made from twelve layers, the spiral grain is visible on the surface. Last but not least, the patented multi-function center column allows adjustment over 180 degrees from vertical to horizontal.

Gitzo Series 2 Carbon 6x Leveling Tripod – 3 Section G-lock GT2530LVL is on sale and available from our online store. OpticsPlanet, Inc is an Authorized US Distributor for Gitzo Tripods . Gitzo developed the revolutionary Leveling tripod for photographers who need fast set-up and levelling accuracy. Inside the Leveling tripod’s upper casting is a special free-rotating ball, similar to those normally used in our ball heads. The center column passes through this ball and can both be moved up and down, and be inclined in any direction at any angle up to 15. The inclination and vertical movements are completely independent. This patented system is extremely useful for panoramic, outdoor and wildlife photographers or for bird watching because the Leveling system allows the camera or scope to be set perfectly horizontal easily and quickly when working on uneven ground. Leveling tripods are available in two heights, eye level and standard, and in two materials, Carbon 6X and Basalt. Leveling tripods now also benefit from many other new Gitzo features that improve performance, versatility and quality.
