Gitzo Tripod Maintenance Guide

Gitzo Tripod Maintenance Guide


http://www.naturescapes.net/082004/gd0804.htm 



"Many nature photographers prefer Gitzo carbon fiber tripods, which are known for their durability and lighter weight. They are built to last though years of use, especially with proper maintenance and care. As a Gitzo owner, you may be wondering how to properly maintain your tripod when the legs start sticking, when leg-collars get grit in them, or when the tripod has been used in water – especially corrosive salt water. Maintenance and cleaning, while somewhat time consuming, is relatively easy. Please note that this tripod maintenance guide is based on modern carbon fiber Gitzo tripods. Metal Gitzo tripods can be similarly maintained, but there may be slight variations in the design and assembly/disassembly process."
