The Explorer is another of our tripods for special applications; a
versatile support that opens up new shooting perspectives. Thanks to
it's unconventional design, the legs can be set at any angle and moved
independently while the center column tilts and rotates freely to any
position. The Explorer unleashes its potential when used with a Gitzo
off-center ball head, a combination that makes it the ideal tripod for
creative photographers, looking for unconventional shots: close to
ground, upside down or in tight or awkward spaces. Ideal applications
are outdoor macro and nature photography, still life and architectural.

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. |

RAPID COLUMN The center column locking collar above the tripod shoulder
makes it easier to adjust the column quickly. Series 1 and above are
built with an anti-rotation grooved center column for improved
stability. |

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). |
