Gitzo 1550T Traveler 6X Tripod with Head
NEW!

Lightweight and sturdy! The 1550T Traveler is a new carbon fiber tripod from Gitzo, and already it's the best-selling high-end, lightweight tripod in the world. It folds up into a mere 14 inches of length, so you can slip it into a carry-on bag or purse and take it with you anywhere.

And when you set up, you have the astonishing stability of carbon fiber that dampens vibrations and lets your camera or scope give you steady images.

With the included head it weighs only 2.2 pounds, and yet it extends up to a maximum height of 49.21 inches. (The included head is tiny and works, but we recommend that you also get the vastly superior Gitzo Fluid Head G2180. It's well worth the price.)

Incorporates Gitzo's Anti Leg Rotation feature that provides a "gravity lock" effect: the higher the load applied vertically to the leg, the stronger the lock.

The head:

The small, included head is good for a small camera. For a spotting scope, we suggest that you also purchase the lightweight and beautifully engineered Gitzo Fluid Head G2180.

This tripod is part of our favorite traveling scope outfit, the "Guatemala Kit." (Description coming soon to this site.)
