The Gitzo GT3340L Aluminum Tripod supports cameras up to 39.7 pounds and has a maximum height with extended center column of 73.2 inches. Scaled for professional equipment, medium format and digital SLRs with lenses from 200mm up to 400mm, Series 3 Aluminum tripods combine high maximum load capacity with outstanding torsional rigidity. The GT3340L is surprisingly lighter than previous versions and offers additional stability thanks to Gitzo's G-lock system. All Series 3 Aluminum tripods now feature a third leg spread to go very low to the ground and take full advantage of the Ground Level Set. They are also provided with the new Power Disc for an safer head lock.

Gitzo Aluminum tripods feature the latest technologies and innovations of the top of the range 6X carbon fiber models for a faster, lighter and more stable support. A key innovation is the use of Gitzo latest aluminum tube 1.2mm wall thick, 30% lighter than its predecessor, with Anti Leg Rotation system (ALR) and brushed matt black finish for improved locking performance and minimized reflectivity. Thanks to ALR, Aluminum tripods are now as fast to operate as the 6X carbon fiber versions. The other key improvement is the introduction of the exclusive G-Lock system that allows for a stronger locking and increases rigidity by 20%. The new Aluminum tripods feature two convenient leg warmers, safe lock removable rubber feet to avoid accidental loss, Ground Level Set and Power Disc.

High grade aluminum upper casting

Gitzo GT3340L Aluminum Series 3 Tripod Key Features

4-Section Tripod With 73.2-inch Maximum Height (Center Column Extended)

High Grade Aluminum Upper Casting

Series 3 Aluminum tripods feature the same upper casting as 6X carbon fiber tripods. This component, made of high grade aluminum, ensures the proper strength and rigidity to the system, further enhanced by the exclusive Gitzo G-Lock.

Aluminum Alloy Tubes

Gitzo has launched a new aluminum tube: 30% lighter than its predecessor, 1.2 mm thick and with a built-in Anti Leg Rotation system (ALR) that improves leg locking performance. It features a brushed matte black finish that minimizes light reflection.

Ground Level Set With 5.9-inch Minimum Height

For low angle shooting, the center column can be removed and the upper disc fitted directly to the tripod top casting. The disc is locked into position using the retractable column hook. The ground level configuration can be achieved in a few seconds without tools or extra components, and only the column need be removed. With this effective and simple built-in solution Gitzo has dramatically increased the ways you can use the tripod. The Gitzo ground level set is patent pending. The upper casting is now modified with an additional third leg spread angle for an ultra low position that allows you to take full advantage of the Ground Level Set allowing for ultra low shooting angles.

G-Lock

G-Lock is the new Gitzo leg locking system. The locking mechanism has been completely redesigned in order to achieve a 20% increase in rigidity, faster operation and stronger, safer locking. Unwanted play between lock parts has been eliminated so leg sections lock together as one to give the tripod a rock solid structure. G-Lock's special design also provides a 'gravity lock' effect: the higher the load applied vertically to the leg, the stronger the lock.

ALR (Anti Leg Rotation)

Gitzo's new Anti Leg Rotation system means the tripod can be opened in less than 15 seconds. Simply loosen all the twist locks on each leg at the same time, then pull the leg down and tighten the locks individually.

New Ergonomically Designed Leg Warmers

Gitzo also puts technology to work on the leg warmers: light, soft and with a new ergonomic design that maximizes grip and comfort when the tripod is carried over the shoulder.

Rapid Column

The center column locking collar above the tripod shoulder makes it easier to adjust the column quickly. Series 1 and above are built with an anti-rotation grooved center column for improved stability.

Reversible Column

The rapid column can easily be inverted for an alternative shooting angle or low level macro work.

Built-in Hook

This built-in accessory allows you to hang a stabilizing weight (e.g. a full camera bag or a sand/water bag) from the bottom of the tripod center column. Useful with long heavy lenses, uneven ground or in windy conditions. The column hook assembly has been improved with a self-locking system that avoids accidental loss.

Removable Rubber Feet

The Gitzo GT3340L tripod is provided with removable rubber feet. This feature allows you to easily change worn out rubber feet or to fit other accessories, such as spiked feet or snow/sand shoes. The removable rubber feet have also been improved with a self-locking system that avoids accidental loss.
