Gitzo Pro Tripods
Video Direct has been an authorized Bogen dealer for many years, and thus also an authorized U.S. retailer for many of the biggest names in the business. These include Gitzo tripods.
Even after 90 years, the ambition at Gitzo is still the same as the day the company was founded: to design and produce the best possible camera accessories and supports using the simplest, most straightforward and elegant solutions... however long and complex the path to get there. This spirit has helped Gitzo to pioneer the most advanced and revolutionary technologies, while maintaining their enthusiasm, philosophy and traditions. Gitzo photographers have come to demand exactly that: top performance, traditional quality... no compromise.
Gitzo introduces the second High Performance generation of basalt fiber tubes. Thanks to a radical innovation in the production process, the tube is now up to 22% stronger than its predecessor. Made by the same technology used for Gitzo 6X carbon fiber tubes, it offers a high thermal and dimensional stability and good vibration absorption. It is an excellent intermediate solution between aluminum tubes and the unmatched performance of Gitzo 6X. It can be a high-quality alternative to Gitzo's competitors' carbon fiber tripods.
