Gitzo GT2542 Series 2 Carbon 4-Section Mountaineer Tripod

Gitzo tripods are extremely rigid and lightweight, combining portability and robustness. They are at the forefront of Gitzo's latest technological solutions, for example with the G-lock system and removable center column. The tripods offer high quality performance and total portability for photographers. They guarantee innovative design, solid construction and high quality materials to support any photography style. The mountaineer range tripods are perfect combined with Gitzo tripod heads and Gitzo tripod bags.  

The GT2542 Series 2 carbon fibre tripod is a lightweight 4-section tripod that reliably supports DSLRs with 200mm lenses (up to 300mm). This professional solution features Carbon eXact tubing with stiffer and larger leg diameters with a top leg section diameter of 29mm and high modulus carbon fiber lower leg sections, which make this tripod more rigid and stronger than others in its category.

The GT2542 weighs just 1.68kg, reaches a height of 167cm and folds down to 56cm. This tripod is the perfect choice for passionate and professional photographers who want extremely resistant, reliable support for impeccable photography results. The tripod’s rapid center column is easily removed, transforming it into a ground level set enabling photographers to capture the broadest range of perspectives. It also has a reversible column mechanism.

The four-section legs are secured by G-lock Ultra twist locks, with a built-in O-ring that keeps dirt and dust out of the leg mechanism. The tripod’s top spider is designed for extra rigidity, and large leg angle selectors provide broader grip-area for leg-angle adjustment. The tripod features a stabilizer hook on its center column to add weight and increase stability when required. Its removable feet enable it to change and adapt to any type of surface. A wide array of heads and other accessories can easily be added via the 1/4” and 3/8″ attachment on the upper disc.
