The tabletop Gitzo tripod is definitely expensive, but it’s also a miniaturized version of their full-sized tripods, so it’s pretty strong. It will hold your lightweight pinhole cameras and fixed len... See more

I recently purchased both the noted tripod and camera backpack. Both items are of excellent quality and even more than I expected. The tripod is stable, lightweight, and adjusts smoothly and quickly... See more

Best price for decor noir

Gitzo offered the best price for the mini traveller decor noir version. Online shops ask up to 50€ more for the decor noir compared to the plain black version, when it’s available at all.

Abysmally poor customer service

A disappointing experience for a brand that is supposed to represent top-of-line photographic equipment. I've gotten better customer service for an $8 fast food meal than for my $2000 order from Gitzo.

Three days after placing an order for tripods, it still had not shipped. I waited an hour to speak with customer service, and was told to be more patient and that the order would ship soon. Seven days later, it had not yet shipped. So I reached out again and only then found out the order had been stalled due to payment issue they knew about on day one. I resolved the issue, and again waited two more days to see that the order was still not shipping. I reached out *again* (each time having to wait an hour for a customer service rep) to have them resolve the problem (order was stuck with the distributer it seemed)

A few days later, the order finally ships. Upon arrival .... an item is missing. And thus I *again* have to contact customer service to get things resolved.

After all this disappointment, I decide to return my order. They make a mistake and refund me far less than I paid, so now I *again* have to deal with their customer service to try and set things right

I wish this story had an end, but for for now I remain tangled in this mess they call "customer service".

Received defective item. Very bad customer service

Extremely difficult to reach customer support.

Received defective Gitzo tripod. Very disappointed with Gitzo's quality and after sales support.

Called both Vitec and Kibo without answer.

Had to use online chat on Kibo BUT waited for an hour before a rep responded.

After chatting, rep promised to send me a prepaid shipping label to send back defective item .

It has been 4 days and i still have not received the shipping label (already checked spam mail folder).

Very frustrating experience.

No point in paying for expedited…

No point in paying for expedited delivery. Order processing and delivery seems to take an exorbitant amount of time probably due to Covid 19. Products received in excellent order and the packaging is beautiful.
