Great product

Injured rotator cuffs in both shoulders. Holding a heavy camera/lens combo is painful so I avoided using my cameras. This Monopod has helped to my cameras back in my hands! I live the feel of quality. Everything works well and smoothly. The large rubber foot really makes pod and camera placement secure.

Rugged and ready

I use it with my Sigma f2.8 120-300mm (one of the heaviest lenses around). I've shot an entire school years' worth of varying high school sporting events and it has held up wonderfully

Great monopod

This is a great sturdy monopod. I am very happy with this purchase. I used it with my Sony a7iii with the 100-400 mm lens to shoot cranes. It was easy to maneuver.

Gitzo GM2542 series 2 Carbon fiber 4 section Monopod

Overall, a good option for me. I like the light-weight sturdiness of this monopod. Wish the padding were a bit more cushy, but satisfactory.

Gitzo have once again created a great piece of photographic equipment

I use this Monopod in the Desert since trying to set up a Tripod amongst the Cactus is literally "a pain" .Excellent stability and very light weight. The swivel footing works really well when panning while maintaining a firm base with a large lens. Easy locking mechanism and overall height is perfect .

I use this Monopod in the Desert since trying to set up a Tripod amongst the Cactus is literally "a pain" .Excellent stability and very light weight. The swivel footing works really well when panning while maintaining a firm base with a large lens. Easy locking mechanism and overall height is perfect .

Gitzo monopods continue to set the standard for professionals and advanced amateurs. The ideal monopod needs to be rigid, lightweight, extremely fast to open and close, fast and precise in height adjustments for rapid changes in shooting position. Thanks to Carbon eXact and G-lock Ultra, the new Gitzo monopods have all these features.

GM2542 is slim and lightweight but is rock-solid thanks to the large G-lock Ultra leg locks.Carbon eXact tubesoptimise fibre composition for each tube size, to make the narrower tubes stiffer, and the wider tubes lighter compared to the predecessors' Carbon 6X tubes.

G-lock Ultrahas even more comfortable operation and reduced risk of dust entering the locking mechanism.

The newBig foot(diameter 50mm) realizes solid footing on any surface, while providing smooth movement with its integrated ball. (This big foot can be removed and replaced by optional feet and spikes. This big foot is also available as an accessory)

Gitzo Carbon eXact 4-Sec Features

  • Rigid and lightweight - Carbon eXact tubes
  • Improved ergonomics - new leg locks
  • Smooth movement, solid footing - new big foot
  • compatible with Gitzo's optional feet, such as GSF50M (big foot 50mm) and GSFSM (spike+rubber foot)
