I have 4 gitzo tripods
from very small to very large
and one gitzo mono pod
(none of which are carbon fiber)
love each and every one of them.
(as well as a number of gitzo heads
from small pan-tilt
to medium sized ball heads)

at this point all the heads
have RRS quick release clamps;
and all the cameras have RRS plates.
