The Gitzo GT2543L Mountaineer Series 2 eXact Long is an all-purpose carbon fibre tripod that's both extremely rigid and light in weight. The Mountaineer Series are the most popular tripods in the Gitzo range and have been developed with carbon eXact tubes and a refined top spider design, making them faster and easier to use, thanks to the redesigned G-lock system, Gound Level Set mechanism, and leg angle selectors. The Gitzo GT2543L 4 leg section tripod will accept up to 22kg, reach a maximum height of 179cm (with the centre column fully extended) and retract as low as 16cm for low-angle shooting. There is no head included with this tripod.
