Gitzo Statieven

Quick release medium plate. Gitzo quick release plates come in three different profiles (A, B and C). Each profile is offered in different lengths (short or square, medium and long) and with different features (graduated, anti rotation pin) and attachments (1/4'' - 3/8''). In the new collection Gitzo unified some 1/4'' and 3/8'' attachment plates into a unique new code that includes 2 screws for both 1/4'' and 3/8'' sizes. Having two screws available for each attachment size is ideal, above all for long plates, when heavy equipment or long lenses are used. As a general rule, it is preferable to always use the bigger possible attachment. In any case, even when the smaller screw needs to be used, it always guarantees a high safety standard. In fact all Gitzo bolts and screws are made of high quality steel.

Photo-video double use spike-rubber feet. These feet are traditionally used in video tripods but they can also be very useful for photographic applications. These feet can be easily transformed into spike or rubber feet by simply turning the rubber cups in or out. Can easily be applied to any tripod provided with removable feet. No adapters or special tools needed.

Gitzo leg locking systems are designed to serve for a life time and to always perform at their best. In order to help these components to deliver their mission, it is recommended to always use the proper grease every time your tripod is cleaned. Gitzo uses a special product that guarantees a smooth operation and protects the metal surfaces from excessive wearing over time. Furthermore, thanks to its special formula, it is not sticky in order to avoid attracting dust, sand and other dirt that may dramatically reduce the locking system life time. This grease is now available in convenient small tubes sold in a set of two. Each tube is enough to lubricate a four section tripod. We always recommend to use a minimal quantity of grease. An excessive amount may attract undesired dirt and reduce the locking ability of the system.
