Gitzo tripod leg diameters

[jwkwd]

Odd question, I believe that the first 2 digits of gitzo tripods indicate the leg diameter, but does anyone know what those diameters are? I am looking to get leg wraps for a CF tripod ( not Gitzo ) that has a top leg dia. of 1.25". The manufacturer is Lenscoat, and they have wraps made for a specific tripod model number. I know I can get close enough with length and diameter, based on series, if I have model number to compare to. If this made sense to anyone reading this, give me a shout. Thank's

Never mind, I found kind of a reference.

The current Gitzo range is a follows

example

GT2530

GT = Gitzo Tripod

2 = series 2
5 = made from carbon fibre
3 = number of leg sections
0 = model version

other codes are
GM = gitzo monopod
GH = gitzo head

the second number
5 = carbon
9 = basalt
3 = aluminium

Model version
when a newer version replaces and old model the last digit will increase by 1
so when the GT2530 is replaced it will be called GT2531

Thank you! I think that I have figured out what I need.........well maybe. But while I am at it, has anyone used or have Lenscoat stuff?

Yeah I have a set for my 70-200 2.8 and my 300 2.8
I can highly recommend it

Great, I wish they had stuff for older lenses. Thank you!
