Gitzo GT0531 - Carbon 6x Mountaineer with G-Lock.

When Gitzo launched the Mountaineer tripods in 1994, they were the World's first carbon fiber tripods. Ever since then they've set the standard for performance and quality. The main feature of the range is the new 6X carbon fiber tube, made of a unique structure of 6 crossed layers that maximises rigidity, vibration absorption and lightweight performance. 6X tube has a high density structure made of top quality ultra-thin carbon fibers (7µm or 0.007 mm). Built-in Anti Leg Rotation is now a feature of the whole carbon fiber range. Mountaineer tripods have been further improved with features and details that increase performance, versatility and quality.

GT0531 - Intended Use: Recommended for compact cameras, lightweight camcorders and DSLRs with 75mm lens or 135mm maximum. Given its small size and extremely light weight, this tripod offers a interesting compact solution for the latest generation of small scale digital equipment. The G-lock system and improved tube structure give good performance in terms of torsional rigidity.

GT0531 - Main Advantages: G-Lock is Gitzo's leg locking system that increases system rigidity by 20% and allows quicker and stronger leg locking. Gitzo's added a solid machined aluminium upper disc with a new Safe Lock material that cuts vibration and improves grip between tripod and head. The upper disc can also be fitted directly to the upper casting, removing the center column for ground level photography or to save weight. All new Mountaineer tripods come with a convenient anti-dust bag for storage and packing.

Gitzo's a wide range of top quality tripods and heads were exported to more than 54 countries! In 1992, Gitzo became part of the Vitec Group - a multinational holding company specialized in supporting professional photographers, broadcasters and filmmakers. Gitzo's unfailing standards have helped to maintain the company's worldwide reputation for excellence in the photographic industry.
