If you look after your Gitzo, it will look after you.

A Gitzo Story by Tom Mason
|
My Gitzo has been there through every challenge — steady when my hands were numb, patient when I wasn’t, dependable when conditions were anything but.
It’s more than just equipment; it’s a companion that’s shared every creative milestone.

I love that I can simply unscrew the legs, pull them apart, and clean or maintain my tripods wherever I am.

I’ve taken many showers in hotel bathrooms with my Systematic, making sure we’re both salt and sand-free after a long day’s work.
If you look after your Gitzo, it will look after you.
“It’s a long way to lug a tripod.”
“You don’t need one if you shoot fast.”

I heard that all the time — until one morning on the Norfolk coast.
4 a.m., clouds on the horizon, a 500mm lens over my shoulder, and a Gitzo Systematic in hand.
The tide turned.
Thousands of waders took flight — a storm of wings and light.

My camera locked steady on my Gitzo, I caught two frames that changed everything.
One of them ran across a double-page spread in The Telegraph the next day.
Since then, my Gitzo has followed me everywhere — from the Falklands to the Amazon, from salt spray to desert heat.
Because when the moment comes, stability isn’t a luxury.
It’s the foundation of your craft.
