All change to Arca!

It’s all change on the Giotto’s heads too – with the entire Giotto’s product range now featuring the popular Arca style head & attachment plate.  This will enable onward compatibility with other Arca style accessories including grips, plates, straps and quick release systems.

The Arca style system is recognised as the benchmark for fast interchangeable mounted systems.

The original Giotto’s tripod plates will still be available to purchase, for those who have invested in the previous design.

Giotto’s is on the case!  

Yes, it’s true – EVERY new Giotto’s tripod kit now comes with a high quality case included in the price.  Stylish and practical the Giotto’s case will keep your tripod safe and in tip-tip condition when stored away, or while on your travels.

Silk Road turns Silhouette!

There’s a name change for the award winning Giotto’s Silk Road series – now called Silhouette and featuring 12 brand new kits.  The award winning Y-shaped centre column design continues to be one of the most popular in the range – including aluminium and carbon fibre models with a combination of weight capacities, 3-way heads & ball heads, a range of folding & packed heights and centre column options to suit every photographer.

The Award Winning Vitruvian just got even better!

The Giotto’s Vitruvian tripods remain a versatile compact alternative with the distinctive upside down space saving ‘stow’ design – and these too are now available in 4 kit combinations. They will also feature the new Arca style heads and plates for ultimate onward compatibility.

New for Nature Lovers!

And last, but certainly not least, there are two brand new Giotto’s Nature Kits – designed specifically to meet the needs of nature photographers and wildlife watchers.

With one aluminium option and one carbon fibre, these tripod and head kits come complete with a short column adaptor for low level or viewing of timid subjects, and spiked feet for ultimate grip.

Both feature the new Arca style 2-way heads, supporting up to 6kg of kit.

Priced at £200 (aluminium) and £300 for the carbon fibre options, more info will be available on these new kits later in 2014.

With over 20 kit options to choose from – please see the Giotto’s Range Overview document for an ‘at a glance’ reference guide on specifications and pricing.
