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.

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.
