Gitzo developed the revolutionary Leveling tripod for photographers who need fast set up and leveling 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 wild life 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.

Carbon tripod   carbon tube - 6X multilayer technology Gitzo 6X is a high density tube made of top quality ultra thin (7μm) carbon fibers (a 28 mm tube contains 1.500.000 carbon fibers) in a unique structure of 6 crossed layers that minimises weight yet maximises rigidity, vibration absorption and performance. In order to optimise the weight to strength ratio, we vary the wall thickness of 6X tube according to tripod series: tubes for series 00, 0 and 1 are 1mm thick, tubes for series 2 are 1.2mm thick, series 3 tubes measure 1.3mm, series 4 1.4mm and series 5 1.5mm. All 6X tubes feature built-in our Anti Leg Rotation system (ALR).

ALR: We have introduced a new Anti Leg Rotation system, which means the tripod can be opened in less than 15 seconds. Simply loosen all the twist locks on each leg at the same time, then pull the leg down and tighten the locks individually.

G-Lock: G-Lock is the new Gitzo leg locking system. The locking mechanism has been completely redesigned in order to achieve a 20% increase in rigidity, faster operation
and stronger, safer locking. G-Lock’s special design also provides a “gravity lock” effect: the higher the load applied vertically to the leg, the stronger the lock.
