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 .

After a successful run with the GM5541, the GM4542 Series 4 Carbon Fiber Monopod steps in as a worthy successor, offering a well-balanced, 4-section design that's perfect for photographers and videographers on the move. This monopod, with a top leg diameter of 37.0mm, is lighter and easier to grip than its predecessor, thanks to its slimmer top tube.

Constructed from stiff Carbon eXact tubes, this monopod ensures rigidity and durability, making it an ideal companion for outdoor and travel photography. The large G-lock Ultra leg locks add to its stability, allowing you to capture sharp, blur-free images effortlessly.

One of the standout features of the GM4542 Series 4 Monopod is its 50mm big foot. This provides solid footing and maximum stability on any surface, from rocky terrains to slippery floors. The integrated ball within the foot ensures smooth movement, making it easier to track moving subjects for dynamic shots.

For added versatility, this foot can be removed and replaced with optional feet and spikes, catering to a variety of shooting conditions. The monopod also incorporates a clip in the wrist strap, a smart carrying solution that allows you to hang your monopod on belts or pockets for easy accessibility.

Whether you're shooting with a heavy lens combo or a lightweight camera, the GM4542 Series 4 Carbon Fiber Monopod is designed to support a wide range of photography needs, making it a must-have piece of equipment for every photographer's kit.
