This Gitzo GIGT1555T Traveler Series 1 Carbon Fiber Tripod and GH5750QR Series 5 Off-Center Magnesium Ball Head Kit from B&H offers the strength and durability of the tripod's eXact leg tubing and the head's 360° rotating quick release platform to capture stunning panoramic scenes.
The Gitzo GIGT1555T Traveler Series 1 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 14". It extends to 54.3" high and can hold up to 22 lb worth of gear. With the included short center column installed, the tripod can get down to 7.9" 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 legs feature space-saving feet that fit the Traveler series' compact design. A shoulder strap is included for easy carrying.
The Gitzo GH5750QR Series 5 Off-Center Magnesium Ballhead follows the same outer shell design and look of the GH3750QR, but is designed for heavier cameras and a more heavy-duty series of Gitzo support.
The GH5750QR features exceptionally smooth rotation, positive locking, and rapid camera mounting - all features common to the Gitzo designed range of ballheads. The graduated base with independent locking facilities, permits perfect panoramic photography. The design of the panoramic base permits the ballhead to be used for table top or near ground level work with or without the use of a tripod. This is an offset ballhead, which makes it possible to point more than 90° downwards.
