Gitzo Legende Tripod Overview
The Legende Series 1 Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod with Ball Head from Gitzo is ultra-compact and has legs constructed from Carbon eXact tubing for strength and rigidity in a slim silhouette, aluminum twist lock collars keep the tripod at the designated height. It offers a 64.96" maximum height, and a four-section design with a 180° reverse-folding system pioneered by Gitzo enables the legs to fold around the center column and head to a collapsed length of 16.93" for storage or travel. In addition, independent leg spread allows leveling on uneven terrain, and locking leg spread angles and a short center column get down for low-angle or macro shots. Compact rubber-tipped feet provide traction without marring surfaces, and they can be easily replaced if needed. An included is an eco-leather shoulder strap that ensures a comfortable carry option.
The new Gitzo professional Center Ball Head is a slim design constructed of high-quality, high-resistance steel and aluminum components. Perfectly balanced, versatile, and engineered with friction-control knob, it ensures uncompromising smoothness and precision of movement. The Arca-type compatible quick release plate works with Gitzo D profile plates as well as most Arca-type plates from other brands. The plate locks with a screw knob and is equipped with bubble-level to help keep a straight horizon.
