Gitzo Series 2, Explorer Reporter 6X Carbon Fiber 3 Section Tripod Legs with G-Lock, Maximum Load 26.4 lbs. Maximum Height 66.9"

• The Explorer is another of Gitzo's tripods for special applications - a versatile support that opens up new shooting perspectives. Thanks to its unconventional design, the legs can be set at any angle and moved independently, while the center column tilts and rotates freely to any position. • The Explorer unleashes its potential when used with a Gitzo off-center ball head, a combination that makes it the ideal tripod for creative photographers looking for unconventional shots: close to ground, upside down, or in tight or awkward spaces. Ideal applications are outdoor macro and nature photography, still life and architectural. • Explorer tripods in both Carbon 6X and Basalt, feature G-Lock - Gitzo's leg locking system that increases system rigidity by 20%, and allows quicker and stronger leg locking. Carbon 6X Explorers feature a solid machined aluminum upper disc with a new Safe Lock material. Explorer tripods also come with a convenient anti-dust bag for storage and packing. • This is the best choice for DSLR or for lightweight camcorders. This series is recommended for lenses ranging from 200mm to 300mm. Series 2 offers excellent load capacity endurance, and very good torsional rigidity. Series 2 is the ideal solution for photographers looking for a solid, and yet lightweight tripod.
