hassy Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 I would like to check if anyone can advice on the differences between Gitzo G340 & G1340. As I understand, both of the specifications are the same, anything changes in the built quality or design change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfdncithekxlbn8kaglf33 Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 I have the 340 with a 1315 colum. As far as I know, they are the sme. There might be some small difference, but nothing to write home about. My only concern about the 340 is that it might be a bit heavy for my use, which is only 35mm with normal lens lengths. That said, I never worry about stability and I always think about the final value of a photo before I go off on some long hike for a single shot.

Ed_Ingold Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 The G-340 is an older version of the G-1340. The main difference is in the legs: the old version has plastic plugs, the new version has rubber tips covering metal spikes. There may be differences in the leg-angle stops - really old Gitzos have a button to pull, which can break of with rough handling. Finally, the assembly of the legs to the pivot: welded in the old version, glued in the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
