Rock solid small tripod

Took this tripod fitted with a small Gitzo mag ball head on a six day backpack trip in the Olympic Nat Park and it was the best piece of equipment I had. Despite it's light weight this is an extermely stable tripod even on unstable waterfall rocks. Shooting with a Nikon F100 with 24mm and 50 mm lense- telephoto lenses probably would be too much.

• When Gitzo launched the Mountaineer tripods in 1994, they were the world's first carbon fiber tripods. Since then, they've set the standard for performance and quality. The main feature of the range is the 6X carbon fiber tube - made of a unique structure of 6 crossed layers that maximizes rigidity, vibration absorption, and lightweight performance. • 6X tubes have a high density structure made of top quality ultra-thin carbon fibers (7µm or 0.007 mm). Built-in Anti Leg Rotation is now a feature of the whole carbon fiber range. Mountaineer tripods have been further improved with features and details that increase performance, versatility, and quality. • G-Lock is a leg locking system that increases system rigidity by 20%, and allows quicker and stronger leg locking. Gitzo has added a solid machined aluminum upper disc with a new Safe Lock material that cuts vibration, and improves grip between the tripod and the head. The upper disc is totally new. • The upper disc can also be fitted directly to the upper casting by removing the center column for ground level photography or to save weight. The 1/4"-3/8" reversible screw has been redesigned for more reliable functionality. All new Mountaineer tripods come with a convenient anti-dust bag for storage and packing. • This tripod is recommended for compact cameras, lightweight camcorders, and DSLRs with 75 mm lenses and up to a maximum of 135 mm. Given its small size and extremely light weight, this tripod offers an interesting compact solution for the latest generation of small scale digital equipment. The G-lock system, and improved tube structure give good performance in terms of torsional rigidity.

  • ALR - A new Anti Leg Rotation system, which means the tripod can be opened in less than 15 seconds. Simply loosen all the twist locks on each leg at the same time, then pull the leg down and tighten the locks individually.
  • G-Lock: The Gitzo leg locking system has been completely redesigned in order to achieve a 20% increase in rigidity, faster operation and stronger, safer locking. G-Lock's special design also provides a "gravity lock" effect: the higher the load applied vertically to the leg, the stronger the lock.
  • Ground Level Set: This feature allows you to remove the center column to save weight and get the camera closer to the ground. Uses existing components: the upper disc with reversible 1/4 - 3/8 bolt and the column hook assembly.
  • Hook: This built-in accessory allows you to hang a stabilizing weight (e.g. a full camera bag or a sand/water bag) from the bottom of the tripod center column. Useful with long heavy lenses, on uneven ground or in windy conditions.
  • Rapid Column: The center column locking collar above the tripod shoulder makes it easier to adjust the column quickly. Series 1 and above are built with an anti-rotation grooved center column for improved stability.
  • Reversible Column: The rapid column can easily be inverted for an alternative shooting angle or low level macro work.
