Gitzo Press Release

GITZO INTRODUCES ITS FIRST LINE UP DESIGNED FOR α CAMERAS FROM SONY: THE SPECIAL EDITION TRAVELER α TRIPOD AND THE BRAND NEW L-BRACKET α 

Supporting the Framing of Exceptional Images on Sony α cameras

In the wake of the collaboration between Vitec Group and Sony announced during Gitzo’s 100th anniversary celebrations, Gitzo is proud to present two best in class products developed especially for Sony α7 and α9 cameras: the Traveler α tripod and L-Bracket α, addressing professional photographers and premium camera users. 

Both new products feature a tailored design solution to perfectly fit Sony α7 and α9 camera models, helping increase grip and stability for precise framing and extraordinary composition.

Gitzo Traveler α

Thanks to its dedicated Sony α plate, the Traveler α brings Gitzo’s premium travel tripod to demanding photographers unleashing their creativity using Sony α cameras.  The new black and silver finishing and new design match perfectly with the outstandingly stylish and modern aesthetic of Sony α cameras. 

The Traveler α is a compact lightweight travel tripod featuring Gitzo’s distinctive high-quality design and constructed of premium materials. It weighs 1.43 kg, extends to 165 cm high and safely holds up to 10 kg of gear. Thanks to the 180° leg-folding system pioneered by Gitzo, the Traveler α’s legs reverse-fold around its centre column and head, allowing it to fold down to 43 cm. This model is recommended for use with lenses up to 135mm and can be used for low-angle or macro shots when the legs are at the widest angle and its short centre column used. Its legs are made of Carbon eXact tubing for superior strength and stiffness in a slimmer size and feature the “Traveler G-lock” - a travel-size version of Gitzo’s G-lock, designed to ensure security and reduce size. The specially designed compact rubber feet ensure perfect camera stability. 

The Traveler α features Gitzo’s most compact professional carbon fibre tripod head. This perfectly balanced, versatile tripod head is engineered to ensure the ultimate smoothness and precision of movement and secure locking with independent pan/tilt lock. The special edition Traveler α tripod features an ergonomic strap made of genuine Italian leather crafted to resemble carbon fibre, for extreme comfort when in use.

RRP £909.95

Gitzo L-bracket

Growing and strengthening its collaboration with Sony, Gitzo is also introducing a pioneering L-bracket developed to enable effortless orientation of the α7R III & α9 from Sony. 

Gitzo’s L-Bracket α is the lightest of its kind on the market. Made of a single solid aluminium piece, it is machined to become one with the most high-level professional mirrorless cameras on the market. The unique design offers four main attachment points for the camera strap connection, ensuring a secure coupling with the solid aluminium body and specific positioning has been considered to minimize camera vibration during transportation. The L-bracket α’s upper side is designed to ensure full and easy access to camera cabling, either for video shooting or indoor tethering. It features dedicated housing for its hex key accessories. The Gitzo L-Bracket α makes switching from landscape to portrait orientation extremely easy, keeping the existing set and camera perfectly balanced and eliminating the risk of picture blurriness.

RRP £174.95
