Loved serious enthusiasts, Gitzo has long been associated with high-performance, precisely engineered tripods and monopods, and that looks set to continue with its refreshed Systematic range. The range employs upgraded leg tubes using Gitzo’s latest generation of Carbon eXact materials. This should strike a great balance between rigidity and weight, while newly designed 50mm wide feet increase stability and reduce the chance of slippage on surfaces like by pros and

Also new from Gitzo, Series 4 Systematic monopods follow the new design and replace the previous Series 5 line. Both ranges come in a selection of sizes with the Systematic tripod range starting at £649.95, and Series 4 monopods beginning at £214.95.
