Re: Gitzo Tripod failed again!


No, that\'s corrosion. White powder filiform type under the paint. Pretty much invasive and almost impossible to get see much less get at because of the \"protective\" paint. Salt/acidic environment based. That grey black crackle paint hides it well.
And is a non warranty issue. would happen on any Mg alloy based tripod that spend time in a heavy salt environ.

There are tripods out there that are constructed of much more resistant materials and that are built with better overall design and potential longevity
