Gitzo GK0545T-82TQD Series 0 Traveler Carbon eXact Tripod Kit

The Gitzo GK0545T-82TQD kit is made up of the GT0545T 4-section tripod and GH1382TQD centre ball head. The legs feature Gitzo's unique 180&deg leg folding system, with strong carbon fibre eXact tubes to increase longevity and ergonomic Traveler G-locks to reduce the overall size. The GH1382TQD Series 1 head is the slimmest in the range and offers independent pan and ball lock control for smooth, precise movements when framing.

Traveler Tripods, with the 180° leg folding mechanism pioneered by Gitzo, are now even stronger with the state of the art "Carbon eXact" tubes. "Traveler G-lock", a new leg lock system dedicated for Traveler Tripods, is compact but strong and ergonomic. The new range is available in 4 sizes, as legs only, or as kits (tripod+head) featuring the new Center Ball Heads for ultimate smoothness and precision. The slimmest Series 0 is added to the Traveler family for the first time, while the Series 1 and 2 models have become taller than their predecessors.

Series 0. (top leg ø: 21.7mm)
The slimmest Series 0 is added to the Traveler family for the first time. With its slim leg tubes, it is the lightest Traveler tripod, but thanks to the stiff Carbon eXact tubes it is surprisingly rigid. A 4-section tripod with short closed length and short extended height.

Carbon eXact - Stronger legs
Carbon eXact tubes are stiffer than the predecessors' Carbon 6X tubes, as they include HM (High Modulus) carbon fibre, and have larger tube diameters. For example, the lowest leg section of the Series 1, 5 section tripod has a diameter of 11.2mm; 40% larger than the predecessor.

Traveler G-lock - space saving and ergonomic
Traveler G-lock is a new, compact leg lock system dedicated to Traveler Tripods. Its space efficiency makes it possible to have taller tripods with compact folded lengths. The new, curved external form gives good grip, while the internal O-ring achieves softer operation and reduces dust and grit entering the locks.

Tripod Kits with new Center Ball Heads
The head is smooth, precise, and perfectly fits between the folded legs. All tripod models are available as Kits with head, or without the head. The head in Kits can be easily removed and replaced with other heads.
