The Gitzo GT3530LSV two-stage tripod features 6X six-layer carbon fiber tubing which is thirty percent lighter than the previous 1.5mm generation, yet possesses the same exceptional stability and vibration absorption. In addition, each leg section incorporates the Anti Leg Rotation (ALR) system to streamline tripod setup: simply turn all of the locks at once, and the whole leg can be pulled out in seconds. The axial-sleeve stage locks have been redesigned to resist seizing, and are completely temperature-independent. Best of all, thanks to the exceptionally rigid legs and die-cast alloy spider, no spreader is necessary, making run-and-gun fieldwork uncomplicated and efficient. Naturally, the GT3530LSV includes the indomitable Gitzo limited lifetime warranty, and friendly, accessible worldwide support.
