Product Description As part of the Gitzo Series 0, the GT0932 Basalt Tripod is a compact and very lightweight tripod that is capable of supporting compact cameras, lightweight camcorders, or DSLRs with up to a maximum pro 135mm lens attached. Created from volcanic rock, Gitzo has utilized the volcanic-based basalt to develop tripods of exceptional performance, stability and durability. The basalt, a black lightweight rock, is pulverized, melted at extreme temperatures (2732 F), combined with other materials and then spun into a strong fiber, which is used to create multi-layer composite tubing. The result is a non-rotating tube of exceptional performance that meets the demands of today's professional photographers. Basalt tripods are more durable and better at absorbing vibrations than aluminum models with similar dimensions. These legs are tougher than aluminum, yet they are 20% lighter.
