Recommended for lightweight camcorders, spotting scopes and DSLRs with 200mm lenses, up to a 300mm maximum. Excellent maximum load capacity and good torsional rigidity, available in 3- and 4-section models at standard and eye level heights. Series 2 is the ideal solution for photographers that are looking for a solid tripod without sacrificing weight.
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.
