Backpacker's Dream Tripod
"This is my first and last tripod! Was in the market for a compact & lightweight tripod to go anywhere with me. This Gitzo fit the bill perfectly! Carbon fiber is super lightweight but sturdy as can be, and folds up to an very manageable size to strap on the side of a pack. The legs fold out very quickly with a slight twist to lock / unlock / adjust - you can have it up and ready to shoot in seconds. The only..." Read Full Review »

Mixed Report
"Used this on photo trip to Yellowstone in winter. Great for weight, but at same time a draw back as a little unstable for Telephoto in low light conditions. The weight however is great for traveling these days and weight restrictions...." Read Full Review »

"I already have a Gitzo GT3530LSV. It is a very stable light weight tripod but not portable. I really missed the tripod on a recent european vacation.

I am 5' 11'', and the tripod height is perfect for me using an angl
