This one hold like a rock while being light weight to boot. Plenty of height with that center column too. So many other tripods I've tried had a center column that was never used because it was so unstable with it raised up. This one is as steady as steady can get.

High quality tripod
By SCOTT M.
Excellent build quality and nice fit and finish.
Because capturing the perfect shot requires a reliable and sturdy support system, the Mountaineer Series 2 GT2542 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod with GH3382QD Center Ball Head is an ideal choice for professional photographers and videographers. This tripod and head kit, also known as GK2542-82QD, is specifically designed to accommodate DSLRs with 200mm lenses, extending up to a maximum of 300mm.
The GT2542 is a robust, perfectly balanced, standard-height 4-section Series 2 tripod. It is constructed with Carbon Exact tubes, which are known for their larger diameters and significant improvements in stiffness. The top leg section diameter measures at 29.0mm, ensuring stability even in challenging shooting conditions.
Paired with the tripod is the GH3382QD Center Ball Head, a product of meticulous engineering focused on the smoothness and precision of movement and locking. This ball head features a large ball and quick-release adapter, ensuring comfortable use even with heavier equipment.
The Gitzo head is versatile, designed to accommodate other plates with similar dimensions. It also includes a removable safety pin on the head base. This safety feature acts as a catch, preventing the plate from sliding out unintentionally. If the safety pin interferes with the mounting of other brand plates or prevents them from sliding out, it can be easily removed with the key provided.
Lightweight yet durable, the Mountaineer Series 2 GT2542 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod with GH3382QD Center Ball Head offers a high-quality solution for your photography and videography needs.
