Gitzo Series 2 Reporter, 6X Carbon Fiber 3-Section Tripod Legs with Leveling Sliding Column, Maximum Load 17.6 lbs. & Maximum Height 62.4".

• The next generation Carbon Fibre tripod, the Carbon 6X incorporates an improved tubing, that is stronger, lighter and as resistant as its 12 layer predecessor. Carbon '6X' is manufactured using a complex 3-D process, which weaves 6 layers of carbon fibre into smooth, solidly constructed tubes. The ALR Anti-Rotation Leg system makes it quick and easy to open and close the tripod.

Simply turn all of the locking rings at once and the whole leg can be pulled out in seconds. These, and many other innovative features, characterise Gitzo's carbon tripods and are yet another example of why so many consider them to be the best tripods in the world.

Ideal for today's digital photographer, with the simple twist of a knob, your tripod is leveled instantly making it perfect for shooting on uneven terrain. The Gitzo G1257LVL carbon fibre 3-section tripod has a maximum height of 158.5cm (62.4").
