Used Gitzo GT0542 Mountaineer Series 0 Carbon Fiber 4 Sections Tripod, 53.94" Max Height, 17.64lbs Load Capacity

Under the umbrella of professional photography equipment, the Gitzo GT0542 Mountaineer Series 0 Carbon Fiber 4-Section Tripod stands out as a sturdy, durable, and versatile choice. Crafted from high-quality, high modulus carbon fiber, this lightweight tripod is designed to enhance your photography and videography experience.

The GT0542 features Carbon Exact tubing, a revolutionary technology that incorporates high modulus carbon fiber in the lower leg sections. This not only increases the diameter of the legs but also significantly enhances the tripod's rigidity and strength, making it more robust than its predecessors.

With a substantial load capacity of 26.5 lbs, this tripod is capable of supporting heavy camera equipment with ease. It extends to a maximum height of 53.9", providing flexibility for a variety of shooting scenarios. When not in use, it conveniently folds down to a compact 18.9" for easy transportation.

The tripod's center column can be removed for Ground Level Set, allowing the tripod to reach its lowest height of 5.5". This feature is particularly useful for low-level macro work or alternative shooting angles. The four-section legs are secured with twist locks that incorporate G-lock Ultra, a design feature that includes an internal O-ring to prevent dust and particles from entering the leg system.

The top spider of the GT0542 has been redesigned to add rigidity, and large leg angle selectors provide more grip area for easy readjustment of leg angles. The rapid column can be inverted for alternative shooting angles, and a 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 is especially useful when using long/heavy lenses, shooting on uneven ground, or in windy conditions.

The Gitzo GT0542 Mountaineer Series 0 Carbon Fiber 4-Section Tripod is not just a tripod; it's a tool designed to enhance your photography and videography experience, providing stability, versatility, and durability in all shooting conditions.
