Hey everyone! Used to be on this forum and sub a lot but took time away from photography.
Now I’m back and getting paid gigs which has given me some confidence in my ability. For one commission I need a tripod as I’m shooting on my makina plaubel 67 and taking portraits. And I’m looking at a three legged thing and also gitzo systematics tripods.
I do shoot video but right now just need a photo head. So definitely need something that can be changed when I change what I’m doing in the future.
It doesn’t need to be light weight, I just want it to last forever basically. I want to buy a tripod and forget about it. Needs to be something strong that can be used outside and also in a studio.
I saw this tripod. The Gitzo GK2380VQR Vintage 4-Section Aluminum. For sale in the Netherlands where I now live and I think it can be had for quite a good price I’m just wondering what you think of it? And if it’s got an equivalent to something more current. I can’t find much information on it and love the look of it. That’s not important but the three legged things kind of look too flashy and distracting for me. They look like the type of thing that would get stolen with all that anodising.
Just wondered what you thought?
