Gitzo GT1550T Carbon Traveller 5 Sec. Tripod Overview
With such a good ratio of compact folded length to extended open height, the Traveler is the ideal tripod to carry with you around the world. Gitzo’s unique patented 180º folding mechanism accommodates the head inside the folded tripod legs and makes this the smallest folded tripod for its open size and number of sections. Matching this compactness with the sturdiness of lightweight carbon fiber and good speed in setup makes the Travelers the ultimate tripods.
FEATURES
ALR
We have introduced a new Anti Leg Rotation system, which means the tripod can be opened in less than 15 seconds. Simply loosen all the twist locks on each leg at the same time, then pull the leg down and tighten the locks individually.

GROUND LEVEL SET
This new feature allows you to remove the center column to save weight and get the camera closer to the ground. Uses existing components: the upper disc with reversible 1/4 - 3/8 bolt and the column hook assembly: Remove column and fix the disk directly to the upper casting using the column hook. No tools needed.
HOOK
This built-in accessory allows you to hang a stabilizingweight (e.g. a full camera bag or a sand/water bag) from
the bottom of the tripod center column. Useful with long
heavy lenses, on uneven ground or in windy conditions.
RAPID COLUMN
The center column locking collar above the tripod shoulder makes it easier to adjust the column quickly. Series 1 and above are built with an anti-rotation grooved center column for improved stability.
REVERSIBLE COLUMN
The rapid column can easily be inverted for an alternative shooting angle or low level macro work.
