Why oh why is a gitzo systematic tripod with head over $2000. I mean, seriously, an AZ EQ6 is only $2500, with all its engineering and electronics. The volume of sales would also be massively in gitzos favor.
So why? I simply do not understand?

Hemi, at some point along the timeline Photography, becomes art. Once the Photographer becomes an artist, well there is no performance/cost nexus, it is all about performance and much of that performance is perceived.
you know... "Truth is beauty, beauty truth" that odd species of nonrational thought. We cannot rationalize the irrational.
