Gitzo GK2550XQR 3-Section Explorer Carbon Fiber Tripod Kit with Ballhead

The Gitzo GK2550XQR Explorer Tripod Kit is a specialized piece of kit, aimed at solving the problems that challenge normal tripods.

It provides the ability to place a camera/lens combination of up to 11 pounds (5kg) in almost any position you could imagine; working on a 40° mountainside slope, pointing at moss on a rock beneath the tripod legs, etc. While the use of a Gitzo Explorer is a bit more unorthodox than a 'conventional' tripod, it will open avenues of creativity that should excite any macro shooter.  Of course being a Gitzo, you can expect the fit and finish to be the delight that comes from the industry's top brand.

Gitzo means for your tripod to deliver decades of service, and offers a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects.
