product description
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.
family description
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 6X carbon fiber tube, made of a unique structure of 6 crossed layers that maximizes rigidity, vibration absorption and lightweight performance.
6X tube has a high-density structure made of 100% top quality ultrathin 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. G-Lock is our leg locking system that increases system rigidity by 20% and allows quicker and stronger leg locking. We’ve added a solid machined aluminum 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.
The new 2008 series 1, 2 and 3 Mountaineer tripods feature an additional third leg spread angle for an ultra low position that allows you to take full advantage of the Ground Level Set. Series 2 tripods feature a newly designed magnesium upper casting for a further weight reduction. Series 2 and 3 tripods now feature the new aluminum Power Disc for a more secure locking of the head thanks to the additional locking screw. Removable rubber feet and column hook assembly are now provided with a self locking system to avoid accidental loss.
All new Mountaineer tripods come with a convenient anti dust bag for storage and packing. The textile anti dust bag is also an answer to environmental protection, aiming to reduce the amount of plastic bags that world industry is introducing into the market yearly.
