Gitzo Basalt Tripods
Replacing the GT2941L tripod, the Gitzo GT2942L Basalt Tripod supports cameras up to 22 pounds and has a maximum height with extended center column of 72.4 inches. Recommended for lightweight camcorders, spotting scopes and Digital SLRs with a range of lenses up to 300mm, Series 2 Basalt Tripods deliver excellent maximum load capacities and good torsional rigidity. Series 2 is the ideal solution for photographers looking for a solid tripod without sacrificing weight. The Gitzo GT2942L tripod features a new third ultra low leg spread to take full advantage of the Ground Level Set and is provided with the new Power Disc for a safer head locking. All Series 2 Basalt Tripods now feature a newly designed magnesium upper casting for a further weight reduction. Features inherited from the Mountaineer tripods include G-Lock -- Gitzo's leg locking system that increases system rigidity by 20% and allows quicker and stronger leg locking -- and the Ground Level Set feature that allows the upper disc to be fitted directly to the top casting, removing the center column for ground level photography or to save weight. Every single component of the Basalt tripod range has been fine-tuned to reach new levels of quality and performance.
Replacing the GT2941 tripod, the Gitzo GT2942 Basalt Tripod supports cameras up to 22 pounds and has a maximum height with extended center column of 66.1 inches. Using the experience gained working with other advanced composite materials has made Gitzo the first and only manufacturer of a new generation of tripods that use Basalt fiber tubes. The fiber is made from basalt rock which is crushed and melted at 2735°F (1500°C). The extracted fibers are transformed into a tube via the same technology used for the Gitzo Carbon 6X tube. Basalt tube has most of the features of carbon fiber, like high thermal and dimensional stability and reduced weight (20% lighter than aluminum). Like 6X, it is engineered to match Gitzo's high performance standards. Gitzo Basalt tubes have a 1.2mm thick wall, a 3 crossed layer structure with built in Anti Leg Rotation (ALR). The performance and price of Basalt tripods puts them between aluminum and high performance Carbon 6X.

Basalt tripods come with a convenient anti dust bag for storage and packing. The textile anti dust bag is friendly to the environment, helping to reduce the volume of plastic bags introduced into the world market.
