The GK2545T-82QD is a Traveler tripod/head kit comprising the GT2545T Tripod and the GH1382QD Center Ball Head. GT2545T Traveler Series 2 Carbon Fiber Tripod The Gitzo GT2545T Series 2 Traveler carbon fiber tripod is the strongest professional, 4-section travel support with an 180deg. leg folding system pioneered by Gitzo, which enables its legs to reverse-fold around the center column and an optional ball head, allowing it to fold down to 44.5cm. It is recommended for use with 200mm lenses (300mm maximum). With its leg angles spread and the included short center column inserted, the tripod goes lower for low-angle or macro shots. This tripod has the largest tube diameters in the Traveler range. It features Carbon eXact legs for superior strength and stiffness and the "Traveler G-lock" - a travel-size version of Gitzo's G-lock, specifically designed to ensure security in more compact tripods. Its specially-designed rubber feet are easily interchangeable with Gitzo's optional feet (e.g. spikes, large feet). It comes with its own shoulder strap for comfortable carrying. It is the ideal tripod for professional photographers who use longer lenses or require the highest stability on the move. GH1382TQD Series 1 Traveler Center Ball Head Gitzo's medium-sized professional tripod head Despite its slim design, it is packed with features, including a friction control knob located inside the ball locking knob for precise adjustment. It has a 360deg. independent panning lock and a ball-movement control lock. It provides uncompromising ball smoothness and is constructed with high-quality, high-resistance steel and aluminum components. The supplied quick-release plate is kept locked with a screw-knob and a bubble level helps photographers keep a straight horizon. The GH1382QD is a perfectly balanced, versatile tripod head engineered to ensure the ultimate smoothness and precision of movement and secure locking. The GK2545T-82QD carbon fiber tripod/head kit is the perfect choice for passionate and professional photographers looking for sturdy, reliable support for flawless travel photography. The Gitzo head is designed to accommodate other plates with similar dimensions. On the head base there is a removable safety pin that acts as a safety catch and helps prevent the plate from sliding out. If this safety pin blocks the mounting of other brand plates or prevents them from sliding out simply remove the safety pin with the key provided.
