Replacing the GM2540 monopod, the Gitzo GM2541 supports cameras up to 26.5 pounds and has a maximum height of 63 inches. Gitzo monopods continue to set the standard for professionals and advanced amateurs. The range has been completely revised with new features and materials in order to offer lighter, faster and more stable products. Carbon 6X crossed layer tubing makes the GM2541 surprisingly light and even more convenient for transportation. Gitzo's Anti Leg Rotation system is also now available on the GM2541. Thanks to ALR, this monopod is incredibly fast to operate and the height can be easily and precisely adjusted. The Gitzo GM2541 monopod also features the innovative and exclusive G-Lock system that allows faster and stronger locking and increases rigidity by 20%. It comes with a convenient anti dust bag for storage and packing.

Monopods are traditionally used at sport events and in situations where space is tight and framing speed is a key factor. The ideal monopod needs to be lightweight, extremely fast to open and close, fast and precise in height adjustments for sudden changes in shooting position. Thanks to ALR and G-Lock, the Gitzo GM2541 monopod has all these features.

Gitzo GM2541 Carbon Fiber Reporter Series 2 Monopod Key Features

4-Section Monopod With 63-inch Maximum Height

G-Lock

G-Lock is the new Gitzo leg locking system. The locking mechanism has been completely redesigned in order to achieve a 20% increase in rigidity, faster operation and stronger, safer locking. Unwanted play between lock parts has been eliminated so leg sections lock together as one to give the monopod a rock solid structure. G-Lock's special design also provides a 'gravity lock' effect: the higher the load applied vertically to the leg, the stronger the lock.

Carbon Tube 6X Multilayer Technology

The GM2541 is exceptionally rigid and resistant to torsion, but, thanks to the new Carbon 6X ALR tube, surprisingly light and fast to operate. Gitzo 6X is a high density tube made of top quality ultra thin (7µm) carbon fibers (a 28mm tube contains 1,500,000 carbon fibers). The fibers are combined in a unique structure of 6 crossed layers that minimizes weight yet maximizes rigidity, vibration absorption and performance. In order to optimize the weight-to-strength ratio, Gitzo varies the wall thickness of 6X tube according to tripod series: tubes for series 2 monopods are 1.2mm thick.

Power Disc With Safe Lock

The redesigned upper disc is improved via Gitzo's new Power Disc technology. Made of machined aluminum topped with Safe Lock material, it includes an extra locking screw, granting a rock-solid connection of the whole system. Gitzo's Safe Lock material is a special techno polymer that maximizes locking torque and equipment stabilization. It is used on the upper discs of tripods and heads, and in applications where the equipment is rotated and screwed onto the support to eliminate micro movements and vibration.

ALR (Anti Leg Rotation)

Gitzo's new Anti Leg Rotation system means the monopod can be opened quickly and the height can be easily and precisely adjusted. Simply loosen all the twist locks on the leg at the same time, then pull the leg down and tighten the locks individually.

Removable Rubber Foot

The Gitzo GM2541 monopod is provided with a removable rubber foot. This feature allows you to easily change a worn out rubber foot or to fit other accessories, such as a spiked foot or snow/sand shoe.
