Review Summary

Sturdy for Nikon D850 with grip and 200-500 f/5.6 lens. You just have to keep you hand on the gear if windy. Add 2 lbs quick release to the tripod. Next runner up is fairly heavy if you have to walk steep uphill or 50 steps or something with full long lens and camera gear on the backpack.

The best, strong and light.

This is the best tripod, strong and light, perfect for my trips and my walks in the mountains, it is very easy to transport together with the Gitzo GH3382QD Series 3 central ball head This is my second Gitzo tripod. I come from Manfrotto and I don't think I will return!!!
Where professional photography meets robust design, the Gitzo GT3542 Mountaineer Series 3 Carbon Fiber 4-Section Tripod stands tall. Engineered for professional cameras with 300mm lenses (up to a maximum of 400mm), this tripod is a perfect blend of durability and functionality.
Constructed with Carbon Exact tubing, the lower leg sections boast High Modulus carbon fiber, enhancing the tripod's rigidity and strength. This innovative design not only increases the diameter of the legs but also makes the tripod sturdier and more robust than its predecessor.
The GT3542 is a high-capacity tripod, capable of supporting up to 55.1 lbs of equipment. It extends to a maximum height of 63.78", providing ample height for a variety of shooting scenarios. When it's time to pack up, the tripod conveniently folds down to a compact 21.3" for easy transport.
Designed with versatility in mind, the center column can be removed for Ground Level Set, enabling the tripod to reach its lowest height of 5.9". 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 area to grip when readjusting leg angles. A ballast hook on the center column allows for the addition of weight to increase the tripod's stability.
The rapid column can be inverted for alternative shooting angles or low-level macro work. The built-in hook allows you to hang a stabilizing weight, such as a full camera bag or a sand/water bag, from the bottom of the tripod center column. This feature is particularly useful with long/heavy lenses, on uneven ground, or in windy conditions.
The GT3542 Mountaineer Series 3 Carbon Fiber 4-Section Tripod is more than just a tripod; it's a testament to Gitzo's commitment to quality, innovation, and professional photography.
