Comments about Gitzo Gitzo Series 2 Carbon Fiber 4 Section Tripod Leg Set with G-Lock System, Maximum Height 65.9", Supports 22.1 lbs:

I am absolutely impressed with the stability (rock solid) of this tripod and how light it is. This tripod is awesome! This is the Basalt model which isn't very well described above. Plus, it's tall. I'm 6'1" and I can set this up so I don't have to bend at all to look through the view finder. And there's more height beyond that.[...]I wasn't sure I would like the twist leg locks. But they are fast and easy to use. And they lock tighter when weight is added. The orange accents give this tripod eye candy. A little pricey, but you get what you pay for. I don't think you can go wrong with this one.
