Review Summary
Ideal for today's digital photographer, the G1227LVL series is new to the carbon fiber range. With the simple twist of a knob, your tripod is leveled instantly making it perfect for shooting on uneven terrain.
Features include a silky-smooth rapid center column that's grooved to prevent rotation, a stainless steel weight hook for added stability, a removable spirit level at the center column base, and ergonomic rubber grip locks for easy handling.
Unparalleled strength: Gitzo carbon tubes use an exclusive process based on pull winding of long carbon fibers that are precisely wrapped and combined under high pressure and temperature with epoxy resin to a 1.5mm wall thickness. This manufacturing process ensures stiff, light tubes resistant to bending, have good tensile and compression strength, a high degree of stability in extreme temperatures, absorbs vibration and withstands fatigue better than other carbon fiber tube processes.
H.I.S.: The G1227LVL also incorporates Gitzo's Hybrid Interconnecting System (H.I.S.), a unique dual jointing system for greater strength and security.
