You can somehow tell right away with Gitzo tripods: this is not about toys, but about tools for people who take photography and videography truly seriously. For over a hundred years, the name Gitzo has stood for uncompromising stability, well-thought-out details, and a build quality that you not only see but also feel when you extend the tripod for the first time and lock the legs into place. It almost feels as if these tripods were built for long journeys, tough assignments, and very critical eyes.
Gitzo was founded in 1917 by Arsène Gitzhoven in France and at that time was not yet focused on tripods. In the beginning, they produced cameras, shutters, and various accessories for photographers who even then valued precise engineering. Only after the Second World War did high-quality tripods and tripod heads move into the spotlight, and that is exactly when the story began for which Gitzo is known today.
