The Vaonis Gitzo Systematic Carbon Fiber Tripod is an ideal travel tripod for when you need to carry a lot of heavy gear and have to shave weight without sacrificing strength or stability. Its legs are made of lightweight and strong eXact tube carbon fiber which allows their diameters to be smaller, with thick walls—providing the performance of larger tripods at a weight of just 4.25 pounds. Its exceptional payload capacity, broad height adjustment range, and variable leg angles make this a highly versatile support system for large cameras and lenses, giving you the ability to get unique shot perspectives.
