Hey guys,
I just wanted to get this short video out to talk about the new Gitzo Legende tripod and backpack that are currently up for funding on Indigogo!
Check out the link here https://gitzoindiegogo.sjv.io/DVKqXq
It's the last weekend for reduced pricing - or maybe even grabbing one at all!

As a wildlife photographer I'm always interested in products that aim for a lighter footprint on the natural world and the new Legende tripod and backpack from Gitzo aims to be just that. The whole idea behind them, being that once purchased the photographer will get LIFE LONG servicing and replacement parts, meaning your tripod can stay by your side for many years to come!
The tripod being a traveller design is small and compact, with a fully featured ball head. I've actually been using a traveller tripod for years for filming on this channel as they are so light and easy to carry around. I'm looking forward to swapping out mine for this sweet new retro version! (my old one has been passed onto a good friend)

Created using sustainable materials but with a fantastic retro aesthetic, I think the guys have done a great job on these and although the backpack isn't really focused for photographers with loads of gear and won't replace my other Lowepro/Gitzo bags, I certainly know I'll be using this when heading into town or giving lectures. For those with smaller kits, or just for those days when you want a camera along side your normal daily stuff thats bags very nice and look cool too!

The campaign is in the last few days so if you want to grab a discount on the pricing you'll need to strike rather soon!

I really hope we see more companies looking to take up the challenge for more sustainable and environmentally friendly products that are committed to long term use, rather than the throwaway society we seem to be in these days! Nice one Gitzo.
If you have any questions drop me a line in the comments and I'll do my best to get back to you all!

FULL DISCLOSURE - Gitzo sent me the bag a few weeks back to get my thoughts on the tripod and pack. I was under NO OBLIGATION to make a video about the tripod and bag, I just wanted too because I loved the idea of the environmental focus and longevity in the products replaceable nature.
