This is the bomb. Totally steady and vibration free. I paired it with the RRS BH 55 plus quick release panning head. This combination is incredible. Still plenty light for long day hikes. You will never regret the purchase.

Solid Support

For a long time I was using a heavy aluminum tripod for wildlife photography. I’ve wanted one of these carbon fiber Gitzos for the past few years but price was a big hurdle for me. Once the tripod was set up and I started using it, I’m glad I made the decision to pull the trigger and buy one. I have a paired with the Wimberley WH – 200 and has been a dream to work with when using my canon 600 F4.
