The Gitzo GT1550T Traveler Tripod supports cameras up to 9.9 pounds and has a maximum height with extended center column of 57.5 inches. With its remarkable ratio of compact folded length to extended open height, the Traveler is the ideal tripod to carry with you around the world. Gitzo's unique patented 180-degree folding mechanism accommodates the head inside the folded tripod legs and makes this the smallest folded tripod for its open size and number of sections. Matching this compactness with the sturdiness of lightweight carbon fiber and quick setup makes Gitzo Travelers the ultimate tripods.
The GT1550T 5-Section Traveler Tripod includes a removable ball head. The Gitzo G1077M Magnesium Center Ball Head supports cameras up to 4.4 pounds. Gitzo magnesium center ball heads are renowned for their smooth and precise movements and high quality manufacturing. The Gitzo G1077M center ball head features a newly developed material for the upper discs of tripods and heads that replaces traditional cork plates. Safe Lock, a special techno polymer that maximizes locking torque, eliminates micro movements and cuts vibration.
Traveler tripods now feature a new upper disc in a safe lock material that cuts vibrations and improves the grip between tripod and head. The upper disc can also be fixed directly to the tripod top casting, thus eliminating the center column. This new feature is called "Ground Level Set" and allows for low shooting positions and further weight savings. Traveler tripods come with a convenient anti dust bag for storage and packing.
