The Gitzo GT2530EX Explorer 6X Carbon Fiber Tripod uses advanced "Carbon 6X" carbon fiber material for its leg construction. This improved tubing is stronger, lighter and as resistant as its 12 layer predecessor. Carbon "6X" is manufactured using a complex, 3-D process weaving 6 layers of carbon fiber into smooth, solid constructed tubes. The Explorer incorporates many new ideas in tripod design and offers extreme flexibility. It features individually locking legs that can be fixed at any angle from 0° to 90° and a column that will tilt from the vertical, right over beyond the horizontal and lock solidly at any angle. The GT2540EX is especially ideal for outdoor macro and nature photography, when used with digital SLRs with 200mm lenses (up to a 300mm maximum), lightweight camcorders, or spotting scopes. It offers an excellent load capacity rating of 26.4 lbs (12 kg) and good torsional rigidity.

Awesome tripod!

"This is a great tripod, especially for someone coming off of a cheaper video tripod that was never meant to handle the weight I put on it. Between this tripod and my new 17-35, I am getting the pixel level sharpness (on D200) that I was never able to obtain before. The tripod is very lightweight (sl …" Read Full Review »

"Much lighter than non CF tripods. If you haven't tried any tripods in person, compare the weight difference. I thought that 1-2 lbs difference isn't much, but when you actually hold a heavier tripod your back will thank you. Very versatile for macro work. Easy to set up. If I had to do it all over …" Read Full Review »
