Gitzo introduces for the first time in the monopod range the basalt
tube with a new fully featured monopod. Basalt tubes are made of the
same technology of carbon 6X tubes and offer intermediate performance
levels between carbon fiber and aluminium. Yet basalt maintains all the
benefits of carbon fiber and composite materials in terms of thermal
stability, vibration absorption and specific engineered structure for
camera support applications. Like the carbon 6X monopod range, basalt
monopod offers ALR and g-lock systems.

G-LOCK G-Lock is the new Gitzo leg locking system. The locking
mechanism has been completely redesigned in order to achieve a 20%
increase in rigidity, faster operation and stronger, safer locking.
G-Lock’s special design also provides a “gravity lock” effect: the
higher the load applied vertically to the leg, the stronger the lock. |

ALR
- We have introduced a new Anti Leg Rotation system,
which means the tripod can be opened in less than 15 seconds. Simply
loosen all the twist locks on each leg at the same time, then pull the
leg down and tighten the locks individually.

LEG ENDS All tripods and monopods in Series 1 and above are provided
with removable rubber feet. This feature allows you to easily change
worn out rubber feet or to fit other accessories, such as spiked feet
or snow/sand shoes. (4 sections tripods in Series 1 are excluded
because the final leg section is too narrow to fit these ends). |
