Can I flip the legs for travel?
Can I flip the legs for travel?
There's no need to flip the legs for travel. Simply remove the center-column assembly, (which includes the head,,the ground-level ring, and column), and assuming you have the matching Gitzo head mounted (GH-1382QD) you'll reduce the stated closed length by an additional 5". There's no need to disassemble the individual components of the column assembly. Just remove the hook, then slide the entire column assembly out. Love this tripod.

question
Is this tripod sturdy enough for a Nikon 600/4 with Wimberley WH-200 head?
I suppose it would work under ideal circumstances, such as setting up on a level and firm surface such as a lawn or even in a blind where you can carefully set up. It might not have the torsional strength for irregular surfaces, such as a cobble beach where you're picking up and moving quickly with the lens on the tripod as you follow your subject. My opinion is speculative rather than being based on actually using the 600mm f4.
