Gitzo G1257 Mountaineer Reporter 6X Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs (Rapid Column)

The Gitzo G1257 6X Carbon Fiber Performance Tripod uses advanced "Carbon 6X" carbon fiber material for its leg construction. This improved tubing is stronger, lighter and as resistant as its 12 layer predecessor. Carbon "6X" is manufactured using a complex, 3-D process weaving 6 layers of carbon fiber into smooth, solid constructed tubes.

The G1257 is a rigid 3-leg section tripod capable of holding most 35mm & medium format gear and even most lighter field 4x5 cameras. The build quality, ergonomics and non-rotating center column with positive locking action are from the best in the industry.
