The benefits of the Mountaineer
The Mountaineer Series are ultra-stiff tripods aimed at professional and advanced amateur photographers who own cameras with high resolution full-sized sensors and/or lenses with long focal lengths. It's built for users who need stability, who are often on the move and who are focused on landscape and architectural photography. Mountaineer tripods have been developed further to incorporate the latest Gitzo technology which increases rigidity, improves performance and ease of use for professional photographers.
Stiffer legs and structure:
- - The newly developed carbon tubes "Carbon eXact" contains High Modulus carbon fibre and has larger tube diameters
- - The top spider and column lock are redesigned for enhanced rigidity
- - The new Mountaineer is significantly more rigid than its predecessors and competitors, guaranteeing less shake and more image stability

Quick release plate
The Gitzo 3 Way Fluid Head features a quick release holder with which the plate (7cm rubberized Arca-Swiss compatible plate included) can be easily released. The width of the quick release holder can be adjusted using the side screw to make it compatible with other plates. To fix-in a plate (and camera) just a single firm pressing down is needed against the quick release holder.
90 degree rotateable plate holder
The new 90° rotatable plate holder allows greater working versatility and framing. Not only does it helps switch from portrait to landscape, it also makes it very easy to shoot overhead and below. This rotation prevents collision with tripods like the Systematic, which have a larger spider.
Smart spirit level rotation
The rotating sprit level supports accurate framing on all axes. The spirit level can easily be repositioned to suit the camera's position.
