Gitzo GK1545TA Series 1 Tripod Kit Overview

The dedicated GK1545TA Series 1 Traveler Tripod Kit is a 4-section carbon fiber support with twist locks that unlock with a quarter turn. Once unlocked, you can extend each section, along with the rapid center column to reach a maximum height of 65". With the legs completely splayed out, the tripod has a minimum height of 9.25", and the tripod's legs fold in the reverse direction to a length of 16.9" for storage or transport.

The black and silver-gray head is an Arca-type compatible ball head with a load capacity of 22 lb and a vertical tilt of 90°. Also, the head can rotate a full 360° and stays in position with its independent pan lock. The dedicated quick release plate has a groove to match the bottom profile of the camera, so the plate does not move while attached. Additionally, an Italian leather strap is included to carry the tripod comfortably on your shoulder.

question

Will this tripod head accept a Kirk or Really Right Stuff L bracket for Sony a9 and a7 series cameras?
Asked by: Anonymous
While each brand as has a slightly different interpretation of what Arca-Swiss means, we have not heard of any issues with high-end tripod manufacturer incompatibility. In other words, you should not have any problem using Gitzo, Kirk and RRS in the way you wish.

Is it the same tripod legs and ball head as BH #GIGK1545TKT, which costs more? Otherwise it will work with any Arca quick release plate or L-bracket?
Asked by: Ho
Yes, they are virtually the same tripods and heads, with the exception of slightly different coloring. They are both Arca type compatible heads, so they will work with Arca type plates and L brackets. Model GIGK1545TKT, is $50 more.
