Gitzo GK1542-82QD Series 1 Carbon 4-Section Mountaineer Kit with Ball Head QD

Mountaineer is Gitzo's ‘all-purpose’ carbon tripod family, both extremely rigid and light in weight. Understandably, Mountaineers are the most popular tripods in the Gitzo range. Now stiffer and stronger than ever, with newly developed Carbon eXact tubes and a refined top spider design, they are also faster and easier to use with evolutions in the G-lock system, Ground Level Set mechanism, and leg angle selectors.

The GK1542-82QD is a kit comprising a GT1542 Mountaineer Tripod and a GH1382QD Center Ball Head, recommended for DSLRs with 135mm lenses (up to a maximum of 200mm). GT1542 is a lightweight, standard-height, 4-section Series 1 tripod, featuring Carbon eXact tubes with larger tube diameters for significant improvements in stiffness. The tripod is carefully matched with a GH1382QD centre ball head, engineered and designed focusing on ultimate smoothness and precision of the movement and locking. Despite its slim design, it is fully featured including the friction control knob positioned inside the ball locking knob. It comes with Arca-Swiss compatible quick release plate GD5370SD.
