About Gitzo GT2542 + GHF3W

After careful design and engineering, the GT2542 Mountaineer Series 2 Carbon Fiber 4-Section Tripod emerges as a robust and reliable tool for both professional and amateur photographers and videographers. Crafted from high-quality carbon fiber, this tripod is not only lightweight but also extremely durable and sturdy, ensuring long-lasting performance.

The GT2542 Mountaineer Series 2 Tripod features Carbon Exact tubing, integrating High Modulus carbon fiber in the lower leg sections. This innovative design enhances the tripod's rigidity and strength, making it more robust than its predecessors. With a load capacity of 39.68lbs, it can comfortably support a range of camera equipment.

This versatile tripod extends to a maximum height of 65.75", providing ample height for various shooting scenarios. When not in use, it conveniently folds down to a compact 22", making it easy to transport. The tripod's center column can be removed for Ground Level Set, enabling the tripod to reach its lowest height of 5.9", perfect for low-angle shots.

The four-section legs are secured with twist locks that incorporate G-lock Ultra, a feature designed to prevent dust and particles from entering the leg system. The top spider has been redesigned to add rigidity, and large leg angle selectors provide more grip area when readjusting leg angles. A ballast hook on the center column allows for the addition of weight to increase the tripod's stability.

Its fluid cartridges ensure accurate movements with minimal effort, making it ideal for both still and video photography.
