Gitzo, revered the world over for its accuracy and quality of bringing new products to market for the professional photo and video tripod technology has redesigned it's breakthrough 6 X. First launched in late 2005, 6 X carbon fiber tripods used a revolutionary design process that reduced overall up to 17 percent of weight without sacrificing strength or stability. Next generation 6 X tripod mechanism features an innovative G-lock, a new feature at ground level, more new discs and bolt the new G-lock-or gravity-lock mechanism is Gitzo's evolution of the system lock twist. Completely revised locks are faster, stronger, and 20 percent stiffer than standard twist locks.

Gitzo G-Lock block gravity
Year after year, Gitzo has improved lock and standard technology, this revolutionary G-Lock is fixed once again as the market leader and standard setters. The only cone-shaped ramp and clamping ring creates an effect of locking gravity-greater vertical load applied to legs, the stronger the blocking effect is, resulting in a rock solid tripod. Photokina is very special for Gitzo this year. 2007 marks Gitzo's 90th anniversary and to celebrate, we're launching a new generation of carbon fiber tripods, said Luca Alessandrini.
Gitzo light weighted carbon fiber tripods
New high-tech and exclusive features like the G-Lock, Ground level Set and Safe Lock disk introduce a new level of performance and quality to the market. Gitzo definitely is going to continue to be, after 90 years, the most advanced camera support and imitated brand in the market. all 6 X tripod more disks and bolts also have been completely redesigned. The discs, which are composed of aluminium, have a new safe block material that reduces vibration and improves clamping head.
Gitzo carbon fiber tripods-shooting angles
The new design of bolt stainless steel prevents falling within the column and makes it easier to control and adjust the length of the tread. The bolts are also resistant to corrosion and oxidation. New Gitzo tripod X 6 also offers a new feature at ground level-style single Gitzo s. The removable center column and the upper disk can be directly applied to the casting and locked in position. With only a few seconds to set up, this intelligent built-in solution dramatically increased the flexibility of tripods and ultra low shooting angles, weight reduction and increased stability. Also featured are on line updated removable feet for mounting worn new rubber feet, foot peak or other accessories. All Gitzo tripod 6 X come with a dust bag for storage and packaging.
Carbon Fiber Tripod-camera support
The new 6 X tube consists of a single six-glued layers structure that maximizes the rigidity, vibration dampening and lightweight performance. Gitzo's 6 X tube has a high density structure and is made from high quality carbon fibre ultra thin (7 m or 0.007 mm). For example, a series 2 contains carbon fibres 1,500,000. In order to optimize the ratio of weight, 6 X tube wall thickness varies accordingly to pipe diameter: up to 2 thick tube series is 1 mm (30% lighter than the pipe 1.5 mm), 1.2 mm for series 3 tubes, 1.4 mm for series 4 and series 5 to 1.5 mm. Pipe X 6 sets new standards of performance technology and supports behind closed doors.
Gitzo carbon fiber tripods-Anti rotation of leg
Cori Gitzo 6 x technology is that the new multi-layer range six crossed that characterizes the system of rotation of the leg (ALR). The system allows for quick configuration ALR and smooth, but retains the clamping force without compromises traditional Gitzo system lock twist. Just loosen all locks at the same time twist and pull down the leg before tightening them, making installation a mere 15 seconds for this tripod five dissected.
