1917
the begining

It all began in 1917. From this year onwards,
Arsène Gitzhoven was successfully producing cameras, cable releases, shuttersand filmpack frames until 1942. It was thenthat all of his endeavors came to a sudden halt during the Second World War.
Only two years later, however, Gitzhoven
got the production up and ­running again
and took the opportunity to create a newcrafted piece of photographic equipment: tripods.

next steps
Tripods were the exact products that
Gitzhoven’s daughter and her husband
fell in love with. When they took over thecompany in 1960, their primary goal was tofurther develop top-quality tripods – andtheir wish came true.

Through the eyes of a photographer, a tripod must be of high rigidity, sturdiness anduncompromising performance. These parameters result in a variety of exceptional Gitzo
products. We take pride in the development of an intelligently designed tripod family
that meet the expectations of a photographic mission in every situation.
To achieve this, Gitzo users are presented carbon tripods only, which provide two major
benefits: maximum rigidity and minimum weight. With the introduction of our new, stiffer
Carbon eXact tube to the latest forms of our tripod families, Gitzo’s carbon tripods haveagain set a new industry standard.

180°
What makes the Traveler special is Gitzo’s invention of the revolutionary 180° leg folding mechanism. A world first for a tripod,
it makes more efficient use of folded space by accommodating
the center column and head in between the folded tripod legs.
The latest version features the stiff Carbon eXact tubes and thecompact Traveler G-lock system, making the Travelers stronger
than ever while achieving outstanding height/closed length ratios
and improved ergonomics.
Take a second to set it up, a minute to marvel at it, and a lifetime to rely on it.

Carbon eXact tubes are as reliable as tripod tubes
get, featuring HM (High Modulus) carbon fiber foran even stiffer tube than its predecessor Carbon
6X. Additional improvements have been madefor the tube diameters, allowing a 40% stiffer performance.

Traveler Tripods

Traveler G-lock is Gitzo’s new leg-locking system.
All photographic journeys require a tripod that is ascompact as possible. Thanks to Gitzo’s innovation,
photo­graphers can enjoy the Traveler G-lock for taller­tripods with highly compact folded lengths.

Flexible Heads are the perfect complement for
creative minds – they guarantee smooth and precise performance and fit between folded legs. All
Travelers are available as kits with or without thehead, which can easily be removed and replacedwith other heads.

Since Gitzo presented its first carbon-fiber tripod in 1994, theMountaineer family has been one step ahead in tripod technologies. Uniting lightweight comfort and rigid constructions,
Mountaineers have it all. The latest versions feature functions
that celebrate fast and easy handling. This includes the smart
leg-locking system with stiffer legs, stronger Carbon eXact tubes
and the completely redesigned Ground Level Set, which allows
photographers to remove the center column effortlessly.

Carbon eXact tubes enable Mountaineer tripods
to be stiffer while maintaining the lightweight characteristics of their predecessors - thanks to thefibre composition of our Carbon eXact tubing andtube dimension optimizations that include larger
diameters of the lower leg sections.

Mountaineer Tripods

The G-lock Ultra is the new top feature of all
Mountaineer tripods. Gitzo’s new leg-locking
system has even more comfortable operation andreduced risk of dust entering the tubes and locking
mechanisms. The fine-tuning has also resulted instiffer legs.

The Ground Level Set mechanism lets the photographer remove the center column to get the camera closer to the ground. A simple single unlocking
ring under the column’s upper disc frees the column
while keeping the upper disc solidly in place on the
tripod.

Mountaineer tripods are available from the lightweight and compact Series 0, up to the sturdiest Series
3. While we recommend choosing the Series based on
the focal length of the lens you intend to use, pleasealso consider your style of shooting and carrying, andyour priorities for lightweight or stability.

The new upper disc ensures solid connection with the head. Since the new Ground
Level Set mechanism does not require the upper disc to be removed, the upper discis always securely connected to the column with the grub screw, unless you need toremove it to reverse the screw to switch from 3/8” to 1/4”. Series 2 and 3 upper discs
feature another grub screw for secure locking of the head.

top leg ø: 21.7mm
The Series 0 Mountaineer tripod is the lightest in
the range, but also the shortest in extended height.
Recommended for photographers for whom reduced equipment weight is of paramount importance, or for those using only lightweight cameras andlenses. The Series 0 uses Carbon eXact tubes withstiff HM carbon for all leg sections. For significant
improvements in rigidity, tube diameters are now
greater than on previous Series 0 Mountaineers: at
11.2mm, the thinnest section of the GT0542 is 40%
larger than its predecessor. The top casting is also
more rigid, and now features 3 leg angle settings.

rapid column
The column locking collar has been redesigned for increased strength, and ananti-rotation groove is now a feature of all Mountaineer models. At the lower endof the column is a hook for hanging a stabilising weight. The hook can be removed
to allow the column to be inverted for an alternative shooting angle or low angle
macro work.

Series 1 Mountaineer is a lightweight, standard height
tripod. An excellent choice for photographers on themove, the Series 1 is recommended for DSLRs with
135mm lenses (up to a maximum of 200mm). The
Series 1 uses Carbon eXact tubes with stiff HM carbon for all leg sections. For significant improvements
in rigidity, tube diameters are now greater than on
previous models: at 14.7mm, the thinnest section of
the GT1542 is 22.5% larger than its predecessor.

All models have 3 leg angle settings.

series3.

top leg ø: 32.0mm
Series 3 is the perfect choice for those who want
to travel light but need enough stability for professional equipment, including medium format
cameras and DSLRs with 300mm lens (400mm
maximum). A Series 3 Systematic is a valid alternative to a Mountaineer tripod, especially for those
who prefer not to use a tripod’s centre column, or
would like the modularity of changing accessories
for different shoots.

series4.

top leg ø: 37.0mm
The Series 4 Systematics are becoming popular thanks to the rigidity from large leg diameters, while the top casting (shared with Series
3 models) is less bulky compared to Series 5
models and therefore easier to store and carry.
The GT4553S has a short folded length with its
5-section construction.

series5.

carbon eXact
Compared to the previous Carbon 6X tubes, Carbon eXact tubes allows for the narrower tubes to be stiffer (diameters up to 25.3mm) by using HM (High Modulus) carbon fibre. At the same time, the larger tubes have become lighter and as a result,the new Systematic tripods have improved balance between rigidity and weight.

G-lock ultra
New Systematic tripods feature the G-lock Ultra. Compared to the G-lock of previous models, G-lock Ultra has augmented operational comfort and in addition,
the internal O-ring reduces dust entering the locks.

top leg ø: 41.3mm
The choice of the most demanding professionals,
Series 5 Systematic tripods are the most rigid tripods
in the whole Gitzo range. Compatible with Series 5
Systematic accessories, the top casting is larger
than that of Series 3 and 4 Systematics in order toprovide maximum stability. The GT5563GS is the iconic 6-section Giant tripod, towering at an extended
height of 278cm.

All the latest Systematic accessories feature a safety catch that prevents thecenter accessory dropping out of the tripod, even if the top casting is inadvertently left unlocked. When used together with the latest Systematic tripods equipped with the corresponding safety button, the accessory is always
held safely in place until the release button is pushed. Newer Systematicaccessories can also be used with older Systematic tripods (and vice versa),
but without this extra safety feature.

Gitzo’s Center Ball Heads are extremely balanced and versatile heads,
engineered and developed to be the ideal complements to our topof the range tripods. The completely new range represents the state-of-the-art in the heads’ field, focusing on ultimate smoothness
and precision of the movement and locking. Center Ball Heads area further demonstration of the Gitzo’s commitment in research anddevelopment, warranty of the attention provided to photographersfor equipping them with straightforward and elegant solutions.

intuitive quick release system
The plate is locked with a screw-knob, whichmakes the system compact, light, and intuitive,
while being flexible to accept most Arca-Swissstyle plates from a wide variety of brands.

pan lock
Independent pan lock is available in all 3 models,
making it possible to take panoramic photos ormake horizontal adjustments for perfect framing.

friction control
Friction control is available in GH1382QD and
GH3382QD, ergonomically located inside the balllock knob. It functions independently from the balllock knob, allowing the ball lock to have a shortstroke (quick locking).

tungsten disulphide (WS2) ball coating
Tungsten disulphide is one of the smoothest materials known to science. The coating minimises the irritating “stick-slip” (jerky movement) effect. Tungsten disulphide has such low friction that it requires an extremely efficient locking mechanism(patent pending) and the use of hard metal components under and around theball, to achieve movement with comfortable friction, strong locking with minimum
effort, and compact head sizes.

fluid heads

gimbalOnce again, Gitzo lives up to its reputation as a brand thatkeeps pushing boundaries. When it comes to heads, the new
Fluid Gimbal head makes every movement precise and uninhibited, enabling photographers to capture the most perfect photos
and videos.
The new GHFG1 is ideal for wildlife photography and birdwatching, particularly for extensive observation, because it guarantees flawless balance, even with heavy equipment.
This new outstanding head features both modern design andinnovative solutions. Clean and harmonic lines, Gitzo’s distinctive
Noir Décor finish and extreme attention to detail meet the latest

technological solution - the fluid cartridge and fluidity control
system - making this head the perfect blend of aesthetic appeal
and high performance. The GHFG1’s most distinctive functionalfeature is the fluid cartridge, a technology that comes from thevideo world and is being applied to a gimbal head for the very
first time. The fluid cartridge dampens vibrations and ensuresthat smooth movement is maintained during observation andshooting, even when manipulating very large lenses. The Fluid
Gimbal Head cartridge also features an innovative fluidity control system, the Whip-Pan, which delivers superlative device control during high-speed movements.

whip-panergonomic details

The whip-pan device applies automatic friction that excludes fluid rotation on
the head’s panoramic axis. The device maintains smoothness at low rotation
speeds, as typically required in video heads. Shooting movements are fully
controlled by users as they shoot (avoiding any shocks or vibrations that cande detected in footage). At high rotation speeds (when the user needs to quickly reposition the camera), the whip-pan instantly excludes fluidity, allowing
free movement and avoiding the need to lift the tripod off the ground. Fluid
rotation is automatically and instantly restored when the rotation speed
decreases.

The GHFG1 features soft-touch ergonomic knobs and includes a built-in Arcatype compatible quick release base and the new Arca-type plate with rubber
grips, safe and solid for heavy equipment. A detachable pan bar completes the head, ensuring great handling ease. This model’s stiff yet lightweightmagnesium body is achieved thanks to a combination of high-pressure hotchamber die casting, which makes it possible to obtain low profiles with robust,streamlined design, conferring the head its extremely strong structure.

fluid counterbalance

recommended tripods

The Fluid Gimbal head balances the camera, lens or scope at its natural centreof gravity. Horizontal and vertical balancing makes it possible to reach theperfect equilibrium. Thanks to the fluid cartridge, this is far easier to achieveeven with heavy equipment than with any standard gimbal head.

The GHFG1 is especially designed for Gitzo’s Systematic and Mountaineer tripods, celebrated due to their incomparable stiffness, as the most reliablesupports for shooting securely in the harshest of conditions, providing a solidbase for the broad, gentle movements that are typical of birdwatching andwildlife photography.

2-way
Gitzo 2 Way Fluid Head provides the highest performance forbirdwatchers and digiscopers with medium-size spotting scopes,
as well as for wildlife photographers and videographers using
premium CSC or DSLR cameras with lenses up to 200mm.
Birdwatching demands specific features of support equipment,
but almost all the heads used by birdwatchers are video- or
photo-dedicated are usually larger, heavier and more complicated supports than they ideally need. Uniquely, Gitzo 2 Way
Fluid Head has been developed to meet a single target: to fully
satisfy both birdwatchers and short-medium range wildlife photographers, who are very close in needs.

Gitzo 2 Way Fluid Head is an extremely compact fluid head witha beautiful, ergonomic design. Noir décor reflection-free surfaces offer good camouflage, especially critical for use in wildlife
applications. This head offers a complete range of technicalfeatures combined with an exceptional size/weight-performance ratio.
The key innovations of this head are the fluid cartridges and theprecise inner mechanism. The result is an unconventional head
perfectly matched to Carbon Fibre Gitzo tripods – an extraordinary combination of performance and portability, designed togive ultra-stable and precise spotting and shooting.

with Chris Burkard

GITZO AMBASSADORSFamous for his indistinguishable picturesof devoted surfers and perfect waves,
Californian photographer Chris Burkard
has turned the page to a new chapter
in his inspiring life as a self-taught photographer. During an unforgettable trip
to the northernmost point of Iceland, he
hiked along cliff faces, swam in the arctic
sea and survived stormy nights on anadventure boat.

Name
Chris Burkard

Famous for
Surfing andlandscape images
MissionCapturing themiracles ofthe beautifully
rugged North

There are many places on earth you could
go as a photographer – why Hornstrandir?
Although it was unimaginably cold andtook many years to plan the trip – it was
definitely worth choosing the most northern peninsula of Iceland that most people have not even heard of. It’s a captivating place called Hornstrandir, where
the waves melt with the Arctic landscape.
Even places like Iceland and Norway havebecome crowded lately. I was really striving
for the timeless beauty of remote places,
the magical hidden wonders of the world.
What’s the exciting part about such a trip?
A lot of it is not knowing about the place.
There is very little information on this area. I
was so lucky to have a local captain on theboat, to survive the literally breathtaking
storms and cold water swims.
Is there a magical moment you will always
remember?
There were so many stunning views, butthere was also something extremely miraculous beyond that. I had known that the area
was known for polar foxes. One day when
we were hiking for quite a while and I hadn’t
seen a single fox, I thought they were hidden like snowy illusions. It wasn’t until lateron I suddenly discovered a series of holesthat led me to one of the natural wondersof Northern Iceland – polar fox pups.
Your recent work shows a true love story
between you and the arctic north. What is
it that made you become fascinated withthis part of the world?
If you have ever walked along the cliff lineof the Icelandic coast, surrounded by rugged mountains and surreal lights – you will
understand the overwhelming feeling thatcame over me.
Which tripod did you take with you?
I like to bring the Gitzo traveler.
What role did it play on your trip?
When you are in such a place like
Hornstrandir, equipment is great when it’s
not in your way. And the Traveler is one ofthose things that keeps up with your pace
as a passionate photographer. It’s there
when you need it, and it works very smoothly. I trust my gear, I don’t even have tothink about it.
What does traveling mean to you after
doing it for 10 years?
To be honest, it has changed completely. When I started out many things wereabout getting jobs done. Photography is
now way more than just a profession I love.
It has become a mission to show people
that it’s worth preserving natural wonders.
It means a lot to me to show people thebeauty of pure nature which I have beenfascinated with ever since I started. So
it’s not about the traveling anymore – it’s
about the purpose of traveling, and the
purpose of being a photographer.

GITZO AMBASSADORSIurie Belegurschi"Photography in the Arctic can bea precarious venture; when you’reshooting on ice, in snow and duringstrong winds, you need somethingstrong and sturdy to ensure that yourcamera stays safe and your photos
are sharp. My Gitzo tripod has survived through the harshest conditions,allowing me to focus on what reallymatters out there in the wild nature."

I kind of weather conditions I’m shootingin they never fail me. They are compact,
lightweight and incredibly durable whichmakes them perfect for any assignment

sometimes to remote locations. I
need to know that my gear won’t letme down and that’s why I have trusted Gitzo tripods. They are superbly
made and have proved to be reliable& dependable no matter what I or theelements have put them through”

Carbon eXact
Gitzo’s newest generation of high performance carbon tubes with increased stiffness, by optimisingfiber compositions and tube diameters for eachtube size.

magnesium – lightweight core
In 1996 Gitzo introduced the first magnesium headin the world. It offers significant weight savings
being 30% lighter than aluminum, and mainly usedin head castings.

G-lock Ultra
A redesigned version of Gitzo’s signature leg locksystem G-lock. G-lock Ultra has even more comfortable operation and reduced risk of debris entering
the tubes and locking mechanisms. It is fine-tuned
for the smaller differences in tube diameter between leg sections of Carbon eXact tubes, contributing
to increased stiffness of the legs.

WS2 tungsten disulphideTungsten disulphide is one of the most lubricous
materials known to science. This coating is applied
to the ball surface of the new Center Ball Heads,
minimising the irritating “stick-slip” effect (jerky
movement) and achieves smooth, precise, stressfree movement.

Traveler G-lock
A compact version of G-lock Ultra, designed for
Carbon eXact Traveler tripods to achieve outstanding height/closed length ratio. The curved design makes it comfortable to grip, and the internal
O-ring reduces dust or grit entering the system.

PTFE – smooth as silkA special treatment that generates a unique ultrasmooth surface, and dramatically reduces friction
between moving parts. Applied to ball.
