Gitzo UK was founded in France in 1917 by Arsène Gitzhoven, to produce cameras, flexible shots, shutters and film holder backs for the photographic industry. We strive to produce the best possible camera accessories and supports using the simplest, most straight forward and elegant solutions, however long and complex the path to get there.

Professionals the world over acknowledge Gitzo tripods, monopods, heads and accessories as setting the industry’s standards for excellence. Innovations such as the first uses of carbon and basalt fiber to make tripods and magnesium to make heads, matched with a design policy of “no gimmicks and no compromise on quality” put Gitzo products in a class of their own.
