Got a Question for me? Powered by Aol.com   Product Details 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. Hook: This built-in accessory allows you to hang a stabilizing weight (e.g. a full camera bag or a sand/water bag) from the bottom of the tripod center column. Useful with long heavy lenses, on uneven ground or in windy conditions. ALR - A new Anti Leg Rotation system, which means the tripod can be opened in less than 15 seconds. Simply loosen all the twist locks on each leg at the same time, then pull the leg down and tighten the locks individually. G-Lock: The Gitzo leg locking system 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. Ground Level Set: This 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. Dear visitor! This website has been designed to help you find THE BEST PRICE.

Money well spend!
Best tripod you can ever get for a light-medium format camera set up, period! Great craftsmanship, ultra light weight design yet supports 26lb of weight. The leveling function build in is great for panorama shots and everything else.If you don't do a lot of panning, you can however get a non-leveling version of GT2530, and later on, buy a Manfrotto 555B aluminum leveling column. This setup however adds a lot of weight and ends up cost more.I've upgraded from a Bogen-Manfrotto 3021BPro, it's a solid performer, but it is just too heavy to carry around.The Gitzo GT2530lvl is a great investment, I know the initial cost sounds like a lot, but it will last you for at least 10 years, and most part on this tripod is replaceable. It's also got a life-time warranty(in USA).There are cheap Chinese knock-offs of Gitzo brand like Giottos and Benro, they might look a lot like a Gitzo but the actual build quality is not even half-way there, so...

Nothing better!
The Gitzo GT2530LVL tripod is simply the best set of sticks that I have ever owned. I use them with a "Really Right Stuff" BH-40 ballhead and a Nikon D300 with an array of Nikkor glass and I haven't gone wrong yet. Super light weight, but, amazingly strong and the ability to level this tripod on uneven ground is simply the best feature ever. Buy one and you won't be sorry that you did.

Product Description

The GT2530LVL Leveling tripod is for photographers who need fast set-up and levelling accuracy. Inside the Leveling tripods upper casting is a special free-rotating ball, similar to those normally used in Gitzo s ball heads. The center column passes through this ball and can both be moved up and down, and be inclined in any direction at any angle up to 15deg.. The inclination and vertical movements are completely independent. This patented system is extremely useful for panoramic, outdoor and wildlife photographers or for bird watching because the Leveling system allows the camera or scope to be set perfectly horizontal easily and quickly when working on uneven ground.

Great for Video, Light and Sturdy
I already own a Gitzo 2 series aluminum tripod and a 3 series carbon fiber tripod, but I need a light weight video tripod for my travels and the Gitzo GT2531LVL serves the purpose. When you are taking landscape videos, you must maintain the horizon level, especially when you are panning the shot. If the camcorder is not perfectly level, the horizon line will tilt as you pan. This Gitzo tripod allows you to achieve that level in seconds without having to adjust the leg heights. The tripod is very sturdy also, the leveling mechanism does not seem to compromise the rigidity and sturdiness of the tripod.

Gitzo developed the revolutionary Leveling tripod for photographers who need fast set-up and leveling accuracy. Inside the Leveling tripod upper casting is a special free-rotating ball, similar to those normally used in our ball heads. The center column passes through this ball and can both be moved up and down, and be inclined in any direction at any angle up to 15°.

This patented system is extremely useful for panoramic, outdoor and wildlife photographers or for bird watching because the Leveling system allows the camera or scope to be set perfectly horizontal easily and quickly when working on uneven ground. Leveling tripods are available in two heights, eye level and standard, and in two materials, Carbon 6X and Basalt. Leveling tripods now also benefit from many other new Gitzo features that improve performance, versatility and quality.
