Originated from French, now owned by Italian-made Manfrotto, but both are presently in the hands of a British international media Group. So how would you like to have Europe finest photography equipment with colorful history from a British, French and an Italian?
If it eases you mind, Gitzo is made in Italian with craftsmanship often compared to the Ferrari of photography equipment. It is expensive but worth every penny. Imagines a Chinese knock-off Gitzo tripod costs more than $300, that’s how expensive Gitzo is.
