I do have a Gitzo, but I don't know what model.
Lots of weird numbers and even more funny model
names. That's the deal with Gitzo : you never
know what the hell they're talking about when
they mention the name of a tripod :-)
I remember not wanting to spend the extra money
on the carbon fiber 'pod, and I remember
regretting it ever after.
