Gitzo & Slik
Kit: Gitzo 2220 Aluminum Explorer Tripod Legs with
Slik Pro Ball 800 Quick Release Head & Tripod Case
The Explorer incorporates
many innovative ideas in
tripod design; individually
locking legs that can be
fixed at any angle from 0°
to 90° and a column that
will tilt from the vertical,
right over beyond the
horizontal and lock solidly
at any angle. A swivel at
the lock on the column lets
you position the angled
column over a leg for
stability, or between the
spread legs to shoot
straight down onto the
floor. As the name suggests
the Explorer is aimed at
photographers working in the
field, it is quick to use,
rugged in construction and
innovative in design.
Whatever the type of
photography you do, the
Explorer will help you to
discover new ways of using a
tripod, it will hold your
camera steady in places you
might never have thought of
and let you capture pictures
previously beyond your
horizons.
The Explorer is available in
a three-section aluminum
tripod code G2220, finished
in the traditional
silver-grey Gitzo paint. The
Aluminum version has a
maximum height of 162 cm (64
inches) and a weight of 2.20
kg (4.90 lbs); it has a
maximum recommended load of
6 kg (13 lbs). The minimum
height from ground level is
a record for tripods in this
category, only 5 cm (11.5
inches).
Brought across from the
Classic Gitzo range are
spiked feet with push on
rubber knobs for the
Aluminum version and the
handy weight hook on the
bottom of the column.
Whether you are
photographing flowers in
your garden, wildlife in the
middle of nowhere, your
favorite football team
winning the league or a
conflict somewhere in the
world, the Explorer should
be there with you, making
sure that you get the shot. |
