Ocean Traveler

The Ocean Traveler is not only the world’s first Stainless Steel tripod, actually it is the world’s first tripod specifically developed to challenge extreme climates and adverse elements. It is derived from the exclusive Limited Edition 90th Anniversary Titanium Traveler of which it carries the same design and manufacturing technology.  The Ocean Traveler combines new features expressly developed for difficult environments, rich in salty water, sand, mud and high
humidity levels with the compactness of the Traveler family.
This unique combination makes the Ocean the ideal travelling
companion for photographers who operate in these climates.
Gitzo Ocean Traveler castings are made of uncoated Stainless
Steel and manufactured with a unique process to guarantee high precision and ultra thin components. A special surface treatment, normally used for surgery equipment, completely closes any porosity at microscopic level ensuring to eliminate any anchoring point for corroding agents. The beautiful and revolutionary design brings a new higher quality standard in the market. It has been developed by advanced 3D modelling software to ensure the maximum stiffness of the structure with the minimum weight. Gitzo 6X carbon fiber tubes and G-Lock further enhance its outstanding performance. An other key plus is the innovative Ocean-Lock, a perfected G-Lock system that, thanks to special inserts at both ends, minimises the amount of water and debris that may enter tubes and locking mechanisms. The upper Stainless Steel leg ends are provided with a special funnel-like hole that allows to empty the small amount of water that may have entered the tubes. The Ocean Traveler incorporates a dedicated Stainless Steel center ball head also conceived to be used in adverse conditions. It can be easily disassembled in order to clean the inner parts from
salt, dust and sand that may get trapped inside. The kit includes a special grease intended to lubricate heads and leg locking mechanisms after cleaning the tripod at the end of your shooting experience. It comes with a smart Gitzo display cleaner and a convenient anti dust bag for packing and transportation.

The Ocean Traveler combines the compactness of the Traveler family with new
features expressly developed for difficult environments, rich in salty water, sand,
mud and high humidity levels.
This unique combination makes the Ocean the ideal travelling companion for
photographers who operate in these climates.
   
 
   
Gitzo Series 1.

An excellent choice for compact digital cameras and DSLRs, or even for lightweight
camcorders. When used with an SLR or DSLR, the Traveler is ideal for 135mm
lens, and can be used with lenses up to 200mm. Series 1 offers an excellent
maximum load capacity with good torsional rigidity at a very low weight.
A Series 1 tripod is the ideal solution for photographers on the move or where
space and weight are key factors.		 Ocean Traveler
The beautiful and revolutionary design has been developed by advanced 3D
modelling software to ensures the maximum stiffness of the structure with the
minimum weight. In order to manufacture such a design, it has been necessary
to adopt a highly sophisticated process that enables to produce high precision
complex structures with ultra thin walls.
 Ocean-Lock is a perfected G-Lock system that, thanks to special inserts at both ends, minimises the amount of water and debris that may enter tubes and treads. The upper Stainless Steel leg ends are provided with a special funnel-like hole that allows to empty the small amount of water that may have entered the tubes.


OCEAN LOCK  

Gitzo Ocean Traveler features the latest version of the G-Lock system.

The Ocean-Lock thanks to special inserts at both ends, minimises the amount
of water and debris that may enter tubes and locking mechanisms. The special seals are derived form the automation industry and meet the highest standards in terms of sealing performance and long life. The Ocean-Lock is not 100% waterproof, however it dramatically enhances the capacity of the tripod to withstand extreme environments. The Ocean-Lock maintains the outstanding locking performance of the G-Lock providing five main advantages: 20% increased rigidity, a stronger locking, a six times faster operation and the Gravity Effect: the higher the vertical load applied to the leg is, the stronger the leg locking becomes. The fifth and most important advantage is the complete elimination of even the smallest give in the locking system, making the tripod a rock solid monolithic structure.		  

extreme production process

Gitzo Ocean Traveler is designed and manufactured with the most high tech
engineering processes. Each component have been designed with advanced 3D
modelling software, the same used for motor racing and aerospace development.
The whole project went through a deep Finite Elements Method (FEM) analysis to
blend function and design together into a high performance structure. The output
is a unique and highly complex design, with ultra thin walls. The only solution to
manufacture it is a cutting edge technology named MIM (Metal Injection Moulding).
This technology is a three stage process and uses a soft compound made of resins
mixed to thin Stainless Steel powder. The first step consists in tooling the parts
using this soft compound. In the second stage these components are cooked
at high temperature. The resins of the compound melt away leaving structures
made of pure Stainless Steel powder. At this stage the components are as brittle
as a sand castle. The third and final stage is a high temperature sintering process
causing the Stainless Steel powder to melt and blend together into a solid 100%
Stainless Steel part. At the end of the process components  are 25% smaller
than the original size at step 1.
