Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Would you recommend this tripod for long-exposure photography using a Nikon D500 with either a 70-200mm Nikkor or a 150-600mm Tamron?

A: Max load is one thing and resistance to vibration and torsion caused by wind and other factors is another. High end tripod manufacturers like Gitzo will tell you that their series 1 traveler tripod is recommended for up to 100mm, max 200mm focal lengths... I think you need something heftier for long exposures in the focal ranges you are mentioning.

Q: 2. What is the weight of the ball head and tripod legs separately?

A: Legs 28oz/ 1.77 LBS Head 7.2oz total

Q: 3. Differences between the T-025SK and the T-024SK? It seems the T-025SK has a lower working position and the T-024SK has higher. The 025SK can also take 2lbs more weight and folds down lower. Am i missing anything else? Is the t-025sk worth getting over the later?

A: Hi, unless you need the extra 5" in height that the T-024SK has, the T-25SK has a greater load capacity, a much lower minimum working height, and a much shorter folded length, so it depends on how you will be using the tripod.

Q: 4. Can I remove the ballhead to install my Manfrotto gearhead? Is the mounting screw 3/8" and metal?

A: Yes, the ball head included with the GEEKOTO CT32X Gravity 85 Carbon Fiber Tripod can be removed.

Q: 5. Can the center column be removed and the head attached directly to the apex of the legs? This tripod has a 2-section center column. Can the top section of the center column be removed and the head attached to the bottom section of the center column?

A: Unfortunately not. This is not a systematic tripod and will not allow for the head to mount directly to the legs.

Q: 6. Is the a light weight gimbal head that I can use with this tripod? I use a micro four thirds set up.

A: The Benro TSL08CN00 Slim Carbon-Fiber Tripod with Ball Head only supports 8.8 pounds so it would not be recommended for use with a gimbal head.

Q: 7. Is the flip lock metal or plastic?

A: The flip lock is plastic and the hardware surrounding it is metal.

Q: 8. Is the included ball head the same as the Benro IN00 ball head?

A: It has the N00 ball head, which is similar but not exactly the same as the IN00. Works just fine on mine.

Q: 9. Will this be a good tripod for a Nikon D750 + Tamron 15-30mm G2? Approx 1960g. I do mainly (like 99.99%) vertical shots.

A: Yes and No. Tripod legs will hold fine, but not the head. Get a better tripod head like the K-20 II or K-30 II, and pair it with a L Bracket for vertical shots.

Q: 10. if legs = 28 oz and head = 7.2 oz where is weight of the center column? Does the 28 oz value include center column?

A: The center column is a part of the tripod, so its weight is included in the tripod weight.
