"This is a great tripod, period. I started off ordering a Slik 500 and Manfrotto midi-size ballhead that was just not right for my needs (Nikon D700 with 80-200 and other similar lenses). The original set up was somewhat stable but there was ridiculous ball creep, and I was definitely disappointed in …"  Read Full Review »

"I use this in landscape/seascape photography. This is an outstanding piece of equipment. Very lightweight yet very steady. Quality throughout. There is a vast difference in quality between this and the typical consumer tripod that can be bought on the cheap. You get what you pay for and in this case …"  Read Full Review »

"Works well, three leg extensions are better than four, and this beefy tripod not only holds my increasingly heavy equipment with the necessary stability, but I also find my ballhead works more smoothly. I love the maximum height and the ease to get down and level to the ground. Backcountry Sierra ph …"  Read Full Review »

"The Gitzo GT2531 is as close to perfect as a tripod could be for my needs (70-200 zoom is my longest lens). It's super light, ultra stable with the RRS BH-40 head.



The only thing I would say isn't perfect is the price... too high. "

"Very light weight yet very stable. Handles a Nikon D80 with 70-200 mm lens like it's nothing. The carbon fiber legs absorb vibration and dampen them quickly. Superb stability for landscapes, panos, and moon photography. Only cons are the leg locks for the terminally impatient; it takes longer to sec …"  Read Full Review »
