FEver felt like you just couldn’t get a high enough perspective to shoot from? Well, Gitzo might just have the solution.

Once you extend all six sections on the Gitzo Giant’s tripod legs the maximum height is 278cm (109.4in). And, for an additional £299/$299, you can even add a centre column that will increase the height to an incredible 328cm.

However, it’s not all about achieving great heights with the Gitzo Giant. This tripod offers a great deal of versatility, with a minimum working height of only 10cm. This tripod enables you to get super low to the ground, giving photographers the ultimate flexibility.

The weight capacity of the Gitzo Giant is an extremely generous 40kg, allowing a comfortable degree of mounting options. And it does this while only weighing a respectable 3.56kg.

The Gitzo Giant is quite literally taller than the tallest man in the world, and having the flexibility to extend it to such height could offer some interesting shooting options.
