Gitzo tripod common sense

1. Why is Gitzo's tripod so expensive?

First of all, Gitzo now only makes carbon fiber shelves and heavy alloy shelves, which are expensive because one material is expensive and the other uses more materials.

Among the carbon fiber shelves, there is no shelf with better overall strength (same or similar specifications) than Gitzo in the market. Good things are of course expensive, and few of Gitzo's six-layer carbon fibers can do it, including the stiffness and vibration conduction of its hinge points. There is nothing better in the carbon fiber shelf than his home.

Heavy alloy shelves are another case. Gitzo can only be described as first-class but not top-notch. Many brands of alloy shelves, such as mantua and rrs, are not bad. Of course, good shelves of the same specifications are not cheap.

By the way, the two mentioned above are just lightweight general-purpose photo frames. Many people who play with large format will choose wooden frame. Don't despise people who use wooden frames. They may be experts. Gitzo is not strong in this respect. Several good brands of wooden frame are ries, wolf, berlebach, linhof and so on, most of which are more expensive.

Finally, it is not necessarily good to make a shelf and a platform. Gitzo is a typical chestnut. Its platform can't be said to be poor, but there is really no bright spot (except that the table is light). Generally, Gitzo platform is not recommended regardless of money.

2. Gitzo tripod recommendation

5d2+ big ternary belt No.3 shelf is no problem, 353 1 or 354 1 will do, and the weight is equivalent. 354 1 is shorter than 353 1, but its stability is also a little worse (in fact, under the load of lens within 300mm in invincible rabbit, 353 1 and 35465438). Because you are all zoom lenses with telephoto and ultra-wide presence, it is not recommended to use the S series without a central axis, which is inconvenient (that is reserved for medium format and above).

In addition, in fact, there are many people using Frame 2, but I'm afraid it's difficult to use isxb. If there is a need to carry a pile of equipment on foot, you should consider shelf 2, otherwise you should not consider it at all (but who can carry all the big three yuan to climb the mountain? It is serious to waste energy and choose the most useful one. Under the above special premise, 2580tqr is a good choice without isxb (that is, the inverted version of 254 1 and the set of table A). Inverted frames are not sold separately. If you don't like them, you can buy and sell them (personally, the watch is suitable for apsc frame +200mm lens).

To sum up, if you don't use isxb often, choose 254 1T, if you use isxb often, choose No.3, if you need to get on the plane often, choose 354 1, and if you have a car or an assistant, choose 353 1.

The above are the basic possibilities of optional objects, but the specific choice depends on your current shooting environment, shooting method and backpack weight. It's best to describe it in detail.

3. What are the characteristics of Gitzo SLR tripod?

1, Gitzo SLR tripod design is very extensive, the first is the different materials.

The most common SLR tripod is made of wood and carbon fiber, and the most used SLR tripod is made of aluminum alloy, not only because it is strong, but also because the tripod designed by aluminum alloy is light in weight. 2. The diameter of Gitzo SLR tripod made of each material is different, the largest is 32mm, and the smallest is 22mm. Generally, people who like to take pictures will choose a tripod with a pin, because such a tripod bears a lot of weight and is very stable when used.

3. Gitzo SLR tripod can be used for human body shooting, landscape shooting and * * *. Advantages: 1 Gitzo SLR tripod is made of solid material, and the splicing of each link is very strict.

2. Many inferior SLR tripods are easy to shake when used, while Gitzo SLR tripods are not, and its use is very stable. 3, Gitzo SLR tripod is not easy to paint off, and waterproof and moisture-proof, long life.

Please recommend a tripod of Gitzo.

5. Who knows about tripods? I want to buy a tripod from Gitzo. Now I like GK2580QR and GK2580TQR.

If you buy a Gitzo tripod, you can buy a SLR tripod instead of a suit! Because Gitzo's tripod head is not very convenient to use!

I suggest you buy Gitzo's tripod separately, another brand tripod, and a high-end tripod with RRS or Aka. If you want to buy a cost-effective one, it is recommended to use the XB series of domestic brand SUNWAYFOTO. This brand has been very popular abroad in the past two years, but few people know it in China!
