GT2540
Accessory Type: Tripods
Description
GT2540
When Gitzo launched the Mountaineer tripods in 1994, they were the World’s first carbon fiber tripods. Ever since then they have set the standard for performance and quality. The main feature of the range is the new 6X carbon fiber tube, made of a unique structure of 6 crossed layers that maximises rigidity, vibration absorption and lightweight performance. 6X tube has a high density structure made of top quality ultra-thin carbon fibers (7μm or 0.007 mm). Built-in Anti Leg Rotation is now a feature of the whole carbon fiber range. Mountaineer tripods have been further improved with features and details that increase performance, versatility and quality.

Intended use
 Recommended for lightweight camcorders, spotting scopes and DSLRs with 200mm lenses, up to a 300mm maximum. Excellent maximum load capacity and good torsional rigidity, available in 3- and 4-section models at standard and eye level heights. Series 2 is the ideal solution for photographers that are looking for a solid tripod without sacrificing weight.

Main advantages
 G-Lock is our leg locking system that increases system rigidity by 20% and allows quicker and stronger leg locking. We’ve added a new lightweight high quality technopolymer upper disc to the Basalt model, while the Carbon 6X tripods feature a solid machined aluminium upper disc with a new Safe Lock material that cuts vibration and improves grip between tripod and head. All leveling tripods also feature our new ground level set: the center column is removable and the upper disc can be fitted directly to the upper casting. Requiring only a few seconds of set-up, this clever built-in solution dramatically increases the tripods’ flexibility allowing for ultra low shooting angles, weight reduction and increased stability. All new leveling tripods come with a convenient anti-dust bag for storage and packing.
