With such a good ratio of compact folded length to extended open height, the Traveler is the ideal tripod to carry with you around the world.

Gitzo’s unique patented 180º folding mechanism accommodates the head inside the folded tripod legs and makes this the smallest folded tripod for its open size and number of sections.

Matching this compactness with the sturdiness of lightweight carbon fiber and good speed in setup makes the Travelers the ultimate tripods.

• GROUND LEVEL SET
  This new feature allows you to remove the center column to save weight and get the camera closer to the ground. Uses existing components: the upper disc with reversible 1/4 - 3/8 bolt and the column hook assembly: Remove column and fix the disk directly to the upper casting using the column hook. No tools needed.
  
• G-LOCK
  G-Lock is the new Gitzo leg locking system. The locking mechanism has been completely redesigned in order to achieve a 20% increase in rigidity, faster operation and stronger, safer locking.G-Lock's special design also provides a "gravity lock" effect: the higher the load applied vertically to the leg, the stronger the lock.
  
• RAPID COLUMN
  The center column locking collar above the tripod shoulder makes it easier to adjust the column quickly. Series 1 and above are built with an anti-rotation grooved center column for improved stability.
  
• REVERSIBLE COLUMN
  The rapid column can easily be inverted for an alternative shooting angle or low level macro work.
  
• HOOK
  This built-in accessory allows you to hang a stabilizing weight (e.g. a full camera bag or a sand/water bag) fromthe bottom of the tripod center column. Useful with long heavy lenses, on uneven ground or in windy conditions.
