11/02/2011

Gitzo has launched a new range of tripods and heads specifically dedicated to birdwatchers and outdoor photographers.

A premium selection of tripods and heads completely resistant to natural elements, developed for the professional looking for ultra stable and precise solutions. Head systems achieve maximum control to all movements and the precise speed you need, eliminating even the smallest, unwanted give and play.

The new heads are: GH1780FQR, GH2780FQR, GH1720FQR and GH2720FQR
The new tripods and kit are: GT1540F, GT2540F, and GK2520FT

This is very useful when a fast equipment repositioning is required. Tripods have special waterproof leg locks, to withstand extreme conditions, blocking water, mud or sand.
They have inserts at both ends, minimizing outside elements that may enter tubes and locking mechanisms. Solid, lightweight, compact, Safari are in black, green and brown colour to alllow them to blend in nature.

A very nice and elegant collection, easy to match with the most popular outdoor accessories, clothing and equipment.

Ready to adapt to your challenges, ready to give you the best results.

With the introduction of these new Bird Watching heads, Gitzo continues its tradition in inventing unique high performance solutions, highly specialised by application.

Bird Watching is a unique experience, with completely different requirements to video and photo applications. In spite of this, all the heads used by bird watchers are actually developed for video and photo equipment. As a result Bird Watchers use larger, heavier and more complicated supports than they need.

When Gitzo launched the Mountaineer tripods in 1994, they were the world’s first carbon fibre tripods. Ever since then they've set the standard for performance and quality.

The main feature of the range is the 6X carbon fibre tube, made of a unique structure of 6 crossed layers that maximises rigidity, vibration, absorption and lightweight performance, ideal qualities for nature photography and bird watching.

Traveler is a unique concept invented by Gitzo that has become a must for compact photo supports.

The revolutionary system comes from the intuition of folding the legs upside down in order to minimise the support folded length during transportation. The new Safari Traveler kit combines for the first time all of the needs of the keen bird watcher.

It offers extreme light weight, compact, stable and vibration free performance, controlled and precise scope movements with a full size tall tripod for comfortable and long lasting observations.

Building on Gitzo's tradition, even the smallest detail has been taken care of in order to make the Safari Traveler Kit the ultimate tool for Bird Watching.
