Gitzo GT2542 Mountaineer Series 2, 4-Section Carbon Fibre Tripod Summary
For demanding situations where you need to strike a balance between weight and stability the Gitzo GT2542 Mountaineer Series 2, 4-Section Carbon Fibre Tripod is perfect. The GT2542 Mountaineer Series 2 Carbon Fibre Tripod from Gitzo features Carbon eXact tubing, which includes High Modulus carbon fibre in the lower leg sections, adding to their diameters and making the tripod more rigid and stronger than its predecessor. The GT2542 has a load capacity of 18kg, extends to a maximum height of 165cm, and folds down to 56cm for transport.
The centre column on the tripod can be removed for Ground Level Set, which enables the tripod to reach its lowest height of just 15cm, ideal for macro and other low-level situations. Its four-section legs are secured with twist locks that incorporate Gitzo’s G-lock Ultra, which has an internal O-ring to prevent dust and particles from entering the leg system. The top spider has been redesigned to add rigidity, and large leg angle selectors give you more area to grip when readjusting leg angles. A ballast hook on the centre column allows you to add weight to increase the tripod’s stability. This model is also available with fewer leg sections in the Gitzo GT2532 Mountaineer Series 2, 3-Section Carbon Tripod and with a ball head kit, the Mountaineer Series 2, 4-Section Carbon Tripod Kit (GK2542-82QD).
