Gitzo Carbon Fiber Tripods for Digital SLR, 35mm and Medium Format Cameras
carbon tube - 6X multilayer technology.
Gitzo 6X is a high density tube made of top quality ultra
thin (7μm) carbon fibers (a 28 mm tube contains 1.500.000
carbon fibers) in a unique structure of 6 crossed layers that
minimizes weight yet maximizes rigidity, vibration absorption
and performance. In order to optimize the weight to strength
ratio, Gitzo varys the wall thickness of 6X tube according to
tripod series: tubes for series 00, 0 and 1 are 1mm thick,
tubes for series 2 are 1.2mm thick, series 3 tubes measure
1.3mm, series 4 1.4mm and series 5 1.5mm. All Gitzo Tripods with 6X tubes
feature built-in Gitzo Anti Leg Rotation system (ALR).
