Testimonials
I had a lot of questions about adding accessories to my tripod and long lens.This is the only site that gave me personal attention and advice. They were more than happy to assist me in all my needs, from gimbals mounts to flash attachments. All the accessories that I purchased were right on and fit perfect and their prices are better then any other site that I visited. I highly recommend this site for all your photo needs. The people here and it's owner are fantastic. Thank you very much for all your help. Harry Meares Jr.

I made my first purchase from NatureScapes this month. It certainly will not be the last. Their friendly staff answered my questions and everything I wanted was in stock. Great deals on the products I wanted too and fast shipping. Why look anywhere else ?

The best choice for DSLR or for lightweight camcorders. Recommended for lenses up to 300mm maximum. Excellent maximum load capacity and excellent torsional rigidity, available in 3- and 4-section models at compact and standard heights. Series 2 is the ideal solution for photographers that are looking for a solid tripod without sacrificing weight. All series 2 basalt tripods now feature a new magnesium upper casting for a further weight reduction and a new third ultra low leg spread to take full advantage of the "Ground Level Set." Series 2 tripods are also provided with the new Power Disc for an safer head lock. The new GT2840C is a special compact version, available in basalt fiber tube only, ideal for cabin luggage and to be stored in your back pack.

Features:


Ground Level Set
This new feature allows you to remove the center column to save weight and get the camera closer to the ground. Uses existing components: the upper disc with reversible 1/4 - 3/8 bolt and the column hook assembly: Remove column and fix the disk directly to the upper casting using the column hook. No tools needed.

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.

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 longheavy lenses, on uneven ground or in windy conditions.

Power Disc
The new tripod upper disc is called "Power Disc". It is made of machined solid aluminum and it now features two locking screws, one to lock the head, the other to safely lock the disc onto the column. The "Power Disc" gives a rock solid connection of the whole system for additional safety and stability.

3 Positions Leg Angle
This feature allows you to position independently the tripod legs in three positions.

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. G-Lock's special design also provides a "gravity lock" effect: the higher the load applied vertically to the leg, the stronger the lock.

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

Leg Ends
All tripods and monopods in Series 1 and above are 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. (4 sections tripods in Series 1 are excluded because the final leg section is too narrow to fit these ends).

ALR
We have introduced a new Anti Leg Rotation system, which 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.
