The sexiest thing on three legs you'll likely ever see, Gitzo's new ocean series.

I have a thing for tripods, and these are damn nice.

when you're a tripod maker... how much innovation can you really produce? It's not rocket science and I see 3 main points they need to focus on.

material
robustness
precision

everything else is marketing.

those gitzo are very nice stuff though and sure look very nice
would be fun to have one especially if you like tripods I could see that I like the finish color !


my main work head is a acratech ultimate I originally had it cause being from the islands I liked the fact it was easy to clean out if it got mucked up and light but holds well
legs are bogen ? cheap but solid enough and working again in the conditions they tend to rust out even when taken care of
plates I love RRS and swear by L plates !!!!

if I was buying a new tripod and head to day I would be looking at the RRS options as they seem to be well thought out etc..



Ywen agree how much innovation not much
I think the only time in tripods I went WOW thats cool is when the benbo first came out I remember I was in HS and thought WOW how cool is that
went down played with them and my only issue was when they first came out they were a bit tricky to work with so I never got one but have not seen anything other than lighter and stiffer better clamps and such
