just purchased one of these vintage Green Safari Gitzos with the inside out telescoping legs to replace a standard Series Three which did not survive multiple encounters with the surf and sand.

This was in part my fault for know really knowing how to take one of these apart to clean properly. Luckily it was not an expensive new one. It now sits permanently at a set height with my video camera mounted.

It seems to me this Safari design will help a little and I am wondering if anyone knows what snow shoes to recommend for this model?

I will need a good general purpose head as well, one that is not too heavy and that will stand up to the conditions. I am not sure if this means a model that is easy to clean or not. I love shooting down at the water's edge but it has its hazards.Gitzo safari.JPG
