Shopping for Gitzo Tripods

Gitzo is an old and respected photo brand that produces a wide range of professional tripods. Founded over 100 years ago in France, Gitzo is now a part of the Manfrotto family. Gitzo tripods are durable, rigid, and extremely lightweight. Because of these features, Gitzo camera tripods are suitable for outdoor photographers frequently on the move.

Types of Gitzo Tripods

The Traveler series is compact and lightweight, perfect for anyone who's always on the go with their photo gear. Gitzo Traveler tripods were the first series to introduce the manufacturer's revolutionary 180-degree folding leg design.

The Mountaineer series is Gitzo's "all-purpose" tripod. With Carbon eXact tubes and a spider top design, this tripod can handle most photography jobs. The Mountaineer series also features a G-lock system, which offers simple, comfortable, and ergonomic use.

The Systematic line is Gitzo's most advanced series, favored by professional photographers using advanced camera equipment. These models are stronger, sturdier, and more modular than other options.

Gitzo Carbon Fiber Tripods

Carbon fiber tripods are lightweight, yet very sturdy and durable. Carbon fiber is also helpful for dampening vibrations, and it offers better flexion rigidity.

Gitzo Tripod Accessories

Include tripod accessories in your photography tool kit for improved performance and convenience while you work. Upgrade your existing tripod with Gitzo tripod heads. Choose between ball heads and fluid heads. With fluid tripod heads, you get smoother motions when you adjust the head. Add quick-release plates and disc plates to your tripod for added functionality. Note that with Gitzo quick-release plates, you have to match the profile to your heads. Use tripod snowshoes for outdoor shoots, to keep your tripod steady and upright on uneven ground or snow-covered or muddy ground.
