Gitzo Traveler Series 1 Tripod Kit with Ball Head

The Series 1 Traveler kit is the one most people mean when they say Gitzo travel tripod: GT1545T carbon legs with the GH1382TQD centre ball head, 1.45 kg together, folding to 42.5 cm with the head still attached because the legs swing 180 degrees back around it.

Maximum height is 163.5 cm with the column up, minimum 32.4 cm, and the rated safety payload is 10 kg. The 5-section GK1555T-82TQDUS folds shorter again for carry-on; the GK1545TA is the Traveler Alpha configuration. Ball friction and panning lock separately on the head, and the G-lock collars on the legs close in a quarter turn.
