Gitzo Traveler GIGT2545T Overview

The Gitzo GIGT2545T Traveler Series 2 Carbon Fiber Tripod is a compact support system with legs that fold around the center column and optional head. These reverse-folding legs contribute to the tripod's folded length of just 17.5". It extends to 60.8" high and can hold up to 26 lb worth of gear. With the included short center column installed, the tripod can get down to 8.7" for macro or low-angle shooting.

The tripod employs Carbon eXact tubing for added strength and stiffness compared to the Carbon 6X tubes. Traveler G-lock is a pared-down version of Gitzo's G-lock, specifically designed for the Traveler tripods to reduce overall size. These Series 2 legs will accept a variety of interchangeable feet and come with removable rubber feet. A shoulder strap is included for easy carrying.

Third Gitzo in almost 25 years

By David
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-05-22

I needed a traveler pod for travel. I have a 3530LSV and GT1257-All great but not good for carry-on. the 2445T easily takes the Gitzo spikes and weight hook and the Markins Q3 traveler ballhead. The lot fits in the Gitzo traveler pod bag. I have and use the other Gitzo pods for almost 25 years, and they are perfect tools.

Nice lightweight tripod for digiscoping with spotting scope

By John
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-04-08

I've used the Traveler 2 several times on Hatteras Island, which always has some amount of wind. I've managed some decent bird photos with winds up to around 15 - 20 mph. Windy conditions do cause shake, but the tripod settles quickly. I typically take several photos between gusts when wind is at a relative lull and more or less constant. Some photos come out blurry, but I always end up with a handful that are surprisingly sharp. I do partially retract the bottom legs for a bit more stability and lower profile. This is a very usable, lightweight system that I can tote over my shoulder for a couple miles. I have not experienced feet coming loose (at least not yet), which has been mentioned by others. Really like the leg twist lock system - makes for fast and secure setup. Oh, and it looks good! FYI - spotter 3.3 lbs, head .9 lbs.

This tripod obviously doesn't come with a weight hook, but is there an optional one that will fit it?
Asked by: Gregory
Yes. The part number you need is D104214. You can buy it from Gitzo's spare parts website. Here is the page for the Gitzo GT2545T and the GIG2545T tripod (same tripod - the GIG2545T comes with a head). All spare parts are listed here. The D104214 is listed somewhere near the bottom: https://www.gitzospares.com/gt2545t-parts.html

Can the legs be folded the other way, not the way it is presented (around the center column), but the normal way, with the center column fully retracted? I have a Manfrotto 410 gear head, which I'd like to keep it attached all the time, and the tripod folded the normal way.
Asked by: Victor
If the column is pulled all the way up, you can fold the legs down on the GIGT2545T so it can be stored with your Manfrotto 410 head attached.

How would an Arca Swiss D4 head pair with the 2545T?
Asked by: David
The Arca-Swiss d4 Tripod Head with FlipLock Lever Quick Release will work with the Gitzo GIGT2545T Traveler Series 2 Carbon Fiber Tripod. I would say, that a larger tripod would be a better choice. Such as the Gitzo GT5543LS Systematic Series 5 Carbon Fiber Tripod.
