The Gitzo GT1545T Traveler Carbon Fiber Tripod & Monopod Kitis a compact support system with legs that fold around the center column and optional head. These reverse-folding legs contribute to the tripod's folded length of just 16.7". It extends to 60.2" high and can hold up to 22 lb worth of gear. With the included short center column installed, the tripod can get down to 8.6" for macro or low-angle shooting.

The tripod employs Carbon eXact tubing for added strength and stiffness compared to the Carbon 6X tubes. Traveler G-lock is a pared-down version of Gitzo's G-lock, specifically designed for the Traveler tripods to reduce overall size. These legs feature space-saving feet that fit the Traveler series' compact design. A shoulder strap is included for easy carrying.

A: Yes, and it's a really nice plate, with a handle to twist it tight.

Q: 6. Would this tripod be sturdy enough to hold Nikon d850 with a 200-500mm lens?

A: Yes.

Q: 7. Can anyone what temperature ranges this tripod can be sued in? The printed warranty states that is covered only to 70 degrees fahrenheit. Surely that can't be correct. My living room is warmer than that.

A: I've had it exposed to temperatures ranging from 2 degrees to 45 degrees Celsius. That's about 35 to 118 Fahrenheit. Though I know it's been stored in places where it gets up to 48-60 Celsius. No problems so far.

Q: 8. Can the center column be shortened or removed?

A: The center column can be removed, but Gitzo no longer makes replacement short columns for series 1. see link: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=gs1510kb&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ma&Top+Nav-Search=

Q: 9. What is the difference between the G-lock Ultra twist locks and the Traveler G-lock system?

A: The G-Lock Ultra is better sealed and more resistant to dust and debris getting inside.

Q: 10. If anyone owns one of these could check this. When the tripod is collapsed (with the legs up over the head) how wide is the spread between the legs nearest the head? I have just the legs with a Acratech GS-Ss head and it's wider than i anticipated making it a bit larger than i thought. It's about 4-3/4 across with the GP-Ss, with no head it's about 3 . From the pictures it looks closer to 3 using the gitzo head.

A: I have recently purchased this GITZO trip. My measurement across the largest distance across the outer points is: 4-1/4 with the plat mounted on the head.
