Gitzo Explorer Tripods
The explorer is possibly the most versatile tripod in the world, and a first choice for outdoor
photographers.
Thanks to its totally free leg angle positions and offset center column inclination, it will hold your camera
steady in places you wouldn't believe and let you capture pictures previously beyond your horizons.
The explorer is available in carbon fiber or aluminum.
For 2007, Gitzo Explorer tripods
in Carbon 6X feature G-Lock, Gitzo's leg locking
system that increases system
rigidity by 20% and allows
quicker and stronger leg
locking. Carbon 6X Explorers
feature a solid machined
aluminum upper disc with a
new Safe Lock material that
cuts vibration and improves
grip between tripod and head.
Explorer tripods also come
with a convenient anti dust bag
for storage and packing. | versatility
The technical solutions devised for the explorer include free leg
angle locking, the offset center column with free inclination and
rotation locking. Combined with the features common to all Gitzo
tripods, such as the stabilizing hook and invertable column, they'll
help you discover new ways of using a tripod. | locking
column system
The explorer is fitted with
a column that can tilt from the
vertical, beyond the horizontal
and lock safely at any angle. | locking

The new 1mm carbon tube is
30% lighter and yet maintains the
same unsurpassed strength and
stability of the 1.5mm Gitzo tube.
The new 6 X-crossed multilayer
technology is the key to this
outstanding performance: long
carbon fibers are formed into a six
cross (6X) layer construction and
combined with epoxy resin under
high pressure and temperature.
The aluminum version is built with
1.5mm thick tube of high strength
lightweight aluminum alloy to
ensure absolute stability and
durability. | hook
This built-in accessory
allows you to hang a
stabilizing weight (e.g. a full
camera bag or a sand/water
bag) on the bottom of the
tripod. Useful with long
heavy lenses, on uneven
ground or in windy
conditions. | foot + grooved leg
for aluminum
The aluminum version features
the Gitzo universal foot system
with rubber feet that cover
stainless steel spikes.
The grooved leg tubes eliminate
rotation when locking the leg. | ALR
We have introduced a
new Anti-Leg-Rotation
system, which means the
tripod can be opened in
less than 15 sec. Simply
loosen all the twist locks
on each leg at the same
time, then pull the leg
down and tighten the
twists individually. |  |  |  |  |
