Gitzo GT1940C Series 1 Basalt 4-Section Tripod Legs with G-Lock, Maximum Height 48.8", Supports 15.4 lbs

The Gitzo GT1940C is a Series 1 Basalt 4-Section Tripod Legs with G-Lock. The fiber is made from basalt rock which is crushed and melted at 1500°C (or 2735°F). The extracted fibers are transformed into a tube using the same technology used for Gitzo Carbon 6x tube. Basalt tube has most of the features of carbon fiber, like high thermal and dimensional stability and reduced weight (20% lighter than aluminum).

Like 6x, it is engineered to match Gitzo's performance standards. The Basalt tubes have a 1.2mm thick wall and a 3-crossed layer structure with built in Anti Leg Rotation (ALR).
