GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Professional Travel & Landscape Photography — Traveller Series 1 Carbon Fibre Tripod: The Gitzo Traveller is the benchmark for professional travel tripods. Lighter and more compact than the Peak Design, with the legendary Gitzo build quality that working photographers trust for decades of use. The price is significant — but this is genuinely a tripod you buy once and pass down.
All-Round & Video — A6700 (2023): Best-in-class autofocus and 4K/120p video in a compact APS-C body — the standout camera under £1,000.
