The Gitzo GT2330 Aluminum Tripod Legs is a mid-range tripod that incorporates advanced materials and Gitzo technology. The legs are made from aluminum tubes, but with only 1.2mm wall thickness, resulting in a 30% weight reduction. They come finished in a brushed matte black finish, for improved locking performance and minimized reflectivity.
The castings are made of Soulid 238, a unique technical compound that is 30% lighter than magnesium but just as strong and with great vibration damping properties. The center column is made of basalt material, which is 20% lighter than aluminum.

Comments about Gitzo GT-2330 Aluminum Tripod Legs (Basalt Rapid Column):
This is my first ball-head and it's taking some getting used to, but the sturdiness of the legs is superb, and the rubber gripped legs make it easy to grab and go. Need a quarter or screwdriver to tighten the quick release- too small to tighten securely by hand.
