New Gitzo Mk2 Tripods

[Louis]

I read about the new Gitzo Mk2 tripods in the March/April issue of View Camera m agazine. Does anyone know anything about this new design of the Gitzo tripods?

At www.gitzo.com they say that the mountaineer range now has a screw as weel as the glue to secure the mounting plate. It also seems that the new tripods has the column release above the tripod legs.
