A: The Arca-Swiss d4 Tripod Head with FlipLock Lever Quick Release will work with the Gitzo GIGT2545T Traveler Series 2 Carbon Fiber Tripod. I would say, that a larger tripod would be a better choice. Such as the Gitzo GT5543LS Systematic Series 5 Carbon Fiber Tripod.

Q: 4. Is theiir a hook aus on the gt2542t ?

A: It does not but between two leg hinges on the bottom edge of the base there is a built in ring/pass through. It's meant for the shoulder strap but you could easily but an S Hook in it and hang a bag. It's slightly offset from center but not by far. It's heavy duty and not going to break off.

Q: 5. what is the overall diameter of the tripod when folded?

A: I'm assuming by your question by diameter you mean the distance all the way around the tripod. If you mean diameter to mean the distance straight across the widest point when folded, it would measure about 4 . Not sure what the relevancy of that measurement is. The most important statistics are weight and what it folds up to and what height it extends to. All of those numbers are accurately provided for on the product site. Hope that clarifies.

Q: 6. Can you mount a Manfrotto ballhead on this tripod?

A: I installed a Really Right Stuff BH-30 Ballhead on that tripod. Works well.

Q: 8. When the legs are folded (and no ball head, what is the circumference at the fattest point? I'm trying to compare it to the same measurement for the GIGT1545T so I have a feel for how much room it will take up in my travel bag. Thanks.

A: Its widest point is the top of the first twist lock, roughly a width (lock to lock, like an equilateral triangle) of 106.13mm using my calipers. Calculating for outer linear dimensions, that makes it 318.39mm / 12.5". If considering its diameter, it's 96.79mm at the same closest lateral point, which puts its circumference at roughly 304.07mm / 11.97".

Q: 9. Are there any dimension restrictions on the size of ball head that can be attached? I was looking at the Really Right Stuff BH-40 with base diameter of 2.1 inches or the BH-55 with base diameter of 2.9 inches. I'd like the legs to still be able to fold up without obstruction.

A: I owuld recommend the BH40 head, it is a more appropriate size for the Gitzo tripod.

Q: 10. What is the lowest working high after removing the central column For 2545T? Thanks

A: With its included short center column inserted, the tripod gets down to 22 cm.
