Features:

The Gitzo Series 2 GK2580TQD is a 4 section Traveler kit. The built-in head comes with a D profile plate (GS5370D) and its hybrid quick release attachment accepts most Arca-style plates as well as Gitzo C profile plates. For maximum rigidity and faster setup, leg locking is via G-lock mechanism.

It is a lightweight and compact professional carbon tripods based around the 180deg. leg folding system pioneered by Gitzo. It makes more efficient use of folded space by accommodating the center column and head in between the folded tripod legs. Recommended for 135mm lenses (200mm maximum), Series 1 is the ideal solution for photographers on the move, or for whom space- and weight savings are of primary importance.

• Ground Level Set: It allows you to remove the centre 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 & the column hook assembly: Remove column and fix the disk directly to the upper casting using the column hook
• G-lock: It 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
• Rapid Column: The centre 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 centre column for improved stability
• Removable Feet: It allows you to easily change worn out rubber feet or to fit other accessories, such as spiked feet or snow/sand shoes
• Hook: It allows you to hang a stabilizing weight (e.g. a full camera bag or a sand/water bag) from the bottom of the tripod centre column. Useful with long/heavy lenses, on uneven ground or in windy conditions
• Carbon fiber tube 6X: It is the most advanced carbon fiber tube in the market and guarantees structural strength, flexion rigidity & great vibration absorption properties. It is the highest density tube 100% made of top quality ultra thin (7um) carbon (a 28mm tube contains 1.500.000 carbon fibers)
