Product Description

Product Description

The G1325 (3 section legs) has no center column so you can choose to purchase separately either the carbon Rapid (G1318) or aluminum Geared (G338) columns or video adapters (G1422 = 75mm or G1424 = 100mm). It's a performance model, which enables the legs to be set individually at 24?, 55? or 80? for low angle shots.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best, November 24, 2004
This is the G1325 carbon fiber Gitzo tripod without any center column. It's incredibly stable, well-constructed, and beautifully finished, and will support as much as an equivalent aluminum tripod weighing nearly twice as much.

I bought this tripod for use with my largest bird photography rig, consisting of digital SLR, large 500mm. telephoto lens, and frequently, 1.4x or 2x teleconverters. The G1325 handles this load beautifully, and is light enough to carry in the field.

People who would like a tripod that includes a center column can either buy the versions of this tripod that come equipped with one (for example, the G1327, which includes a rapid column), or else add a rapid or geared center column to this basic model. Yet another option is to purchase and use a G1321 leveling base, which tilts 15 degrees in any direction to allow level framing of photos even in situations where the ground may be sloping.

Some photographers may be shocked by the high price of this item, but there is truth in the old saying that no one ever regrets buying the best. This is an item that will last for many years and will pay dividends in the form of the many sharp, vibration-free photographs it will enable its owner to take.

It should be noted that some photographers never get used to the twist-release leg section controls for which Gitzo has become famous (or infamous). Personally, I have found the flip-lock relases of Bogen/Manfrotto tripods easier and faster to operate, but the Gitzo legs are more durable and with repetition the opening and closing of the legs becomes quite easy and routine.

Overall, this is quite simply the best tripod I've ever owned, and I could not be happier with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gitzo MK 2, October 19, 2005
In preparation for a three week Everglades bird photo shoot, and realizing that any tripod that I might take would be on my sholder more than it was on the ground, weight became an important consideration. I mated this tripod and the WIMBERLEY head which has the ARCA Swiss type quick release for lenses. I carried the tripod for three weeks and was very happy that with my choice. I recommend the three section leg. The four section leg, while shorter and will fit more easily in luggage, the bottom-most section is too small and is therefore not as stable - the whole idea - as the three section leg.
