Gitzo GT2940C Compact Basalt Tripod Legs - Supports 22 lbs (10kg)

The Gitzo GT2940C Compact Basalt Tripod is a compact 4 leg-section tripod that is capable of holding a pro SLR camera with a pro telephoto zoom lens (e.g. 70-200mm) attached, a medium format up to 6x6, a consumer camcorder, or a spotting scope. Collapsible down to a compact 17.3", it is short enough to fit into carry-on luggage or a backpack.

Created from volcanic rock, Gitzo has utilized the volcanic-based basalt to develop tripods of exceptional performance, stability, and durability. The basalt, a black lightweight rock, is pulverized, melted at extreme temperatures (2732° F), combined with other materials and then spun into a strong fiber, which is used to create multi-layer composite tubing. The result is a non-rotating tube of exceptional performance that meets the demands of today's professional photographers.
