I've got a couple of Gitzo series 5 tripods. They are aluminum, but people seem to want carbon fiber these days. I like Gitzo because they are sturdy, dependable, and you can get parts for them if the need arises. I will be downsizing soon, what do you think the value on this series is worth?
I question the part about getting parts if needed. I have an older model and a friend tripped on one leg and bent it. Was able to get a replacement leg.
Had to go to a machine shop to have it taken care of. It works, but not as good as new.
