The Gitzo GT2941LVL Leveling Tripod supports cameras up to 22 pounds and has a maximum height with extended center column of 71.7 inches. The Leveling tripod is the ideal support for fluid heads. It introduces a new degree of integration between head and tripod: the Leveling tripod sets the camera perfectly horizontal while the fluid head allows pan and tilt movements. Recommended for lenses up to 300mm. Series 2 Leveling tripods offer an excellent maximum load capacity and a very good torsional rigidity.

Gitzo developed the revolutionary Leveling tripod for photographers who need fast setup and leveling accuracy. Inside the Leveling tripod's upper casting is a special free-rotating ball, similar to those normally used in Gitzo ball heads. The center column passes through this ball and can both be moved up and down, and be inclined in any direction at any angle up to 15 degrees. The inclination and vertical movements are completely independent. This patented system is extremely useful for panoramic, outdoor and wildlife photographers or for bird watching because the Leveling system allows the camera or scope to be set perfectly horizontal easily and quickly when working on uneven ground.

Leveling tripods now benefit from many new Gitzo features that improve performance, versatility and quality. G-Lock is Gitzo's leg locking system that increases system rigidity by 20% and allows quicker and stronger leg locking. The Basalt tripods feature a new lightweight high-quality technopolymer upper disc. All Leveling tripods also feature Gitzo's new ground level set: the center column is removable and the upper disc can be fitted directly to the upper casting. With only a few seconds of set up, this clever built-in solution dramatically increases the tripods' flexibility allowing for ultra-low shooting angles, weight reduction and increased stability. All new Leveling tripods come with a convenient anti dust bag for storage and packing.

Gitzo GT2941LVL Leveling Series 2 Tripod Key Features

Leveling system allows the camera or scope to be set perfectly horizontal easily and quickly when working on uneven ground.

4-Section Tripod With 71.7-inch Maximum Height (Center Column Extended)

Revolutionary Fast and Accurate Leveling System

The Leveling system allows the camera or scope to be set perfectly horizontal easily and quickly when working on uneven ground. Open the tripod, leaving the center column down. Loosen the leveling system locking knob. Adjust the center column inclination to get it level -- for reference use the built-in bubble spirit level. When the column is correctly leveled, tighten the locking knob. Slide the center column to the required height.

Basalt Fiber Construction

Basalt fibers are made of basalt rock which is crushed and melted at 2735°F (1500°C). The fibers are then transformed into a tube with the same technology used by Gitzo for carbon fiber. Basalt tubes are engineered to match Gitzo performance standards and maintain most of the features of 6X carbon fiber: high thermal and dimensional stability, light weight (20% less than aluminum). Basalt tube uses a 1.2mm thick, 3 crossed layer structure with built-in Anti Leg Rotation (ALR). Basalt offers an intermediate performance level between traditional aluminum and 6X tubes.

Ground Level Set

For low angle shooting, the center column can be removed and the upper disc fitted directly to the tripod top casting. The disc is locked into position using the retractable column hook. The ground level configuration can be achieved in a few seconds without tools or extra components, and only the column need be removed. With this effective and simple built-in solution Gitzo has dramatically increased the ways you can use the tripod. The Gitzo ground level set is patent pending.

Safe Lock

Safe Lock is a special techno polymer that maximizes locking torque and equipment stabilisation. 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.

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 tripod 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.

ALR (Anti Leg Rotation)

Gitzo's new Anti Leg Rotation system 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.

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.

Built-in 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, uneven ground or in windy conditions. The hook can hold up to 39.7 pounds (18 kg).

Removable Rubber Feet

The Gitzo GT2941LVL tripod is provided with removable rubber feet. This feature allows you to easily change worn out rubber feet or to fit other accessories, such as spiked feet or snow/sand shoes.
