Gitzo Tripod Kit Traveler Series 1, 5 Sections

The Gitzo Traveler will be your inseparable compantion for every trip. The tripod with 180° leg folding mechanism pioneered by Gitzo, is now even stronger with new carbon tubes, and easier to always bring with you. Good trip, great shots.

Carbon eXact

Stiffer than the antecedents’ tubes to maximize rigidity and image stability. Carbon eXact tubes include 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 40% larger than the predecessor.

Traveler G-lock

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

New Ball Head

The Center Ball Heads included in the Kits (tripod+head) feature ultra smooth WS2 ball coating and an extremely efficient locking mechanism (patent pending), while slim enough to fit between the folded legs.

Product Description

The GK1555T-82TQD is a Traveler tripod/head kit comprising the GK1555T carbon fiber tripod and the GH1382TQD Center Ball Head.
The Gitzo GT1555T Series 1 Traveler carbon fiber tripod is an ultra-compact, 5-section support with a 180° leg folding system pioneered by Gitzo, which enables its legs to reverse-fold around the center column and the head, allowing it to fold down to 35.5 cm. It is recommended for use with 135mm lenses (200mm max.). With its leg angles spread and the included short center column inserted, the tripod goes lower for low-angle or macro shots.
The tripod’s legs are made of Carbon eXact tubing for superior strength and stiffness in a slimmer size and feature the “Traveler G-lock” - a travel-size version of Gitzo’s G-lock, specifically designed to ensure security in reduced size. Its specially-designed compact rubber feet can easily be replaced if necessary. It comes with its own shoulder strap for comfortable carrying.

The GH1382TQD Center Ball Head Series 1 Traveler is the slimmest tripod head in the Gitzo professional tripod head range. This model features an independent pan lock. It provides uncompromising ball smoothness and is constructed with high-quality, high-resistance steel and aluminum components. The GH1382TQD Center Ball Head is supplied with a short, Arca-Swiss compatible plate (GS5370SD) and is also perfect with all Gitzo's D profile plates. Its quick-release plate is kept locked with a screw knob and a bubble level helps photographers keep a straight horizon. This tripod head fits most Arca-Swiss-style plates from other brands. It does not feature a friction control knob.
Like all the other Gitzo Center Ball Heads, the GH1382TQD is a perfectly balanced and versatile tripod head, engineered to ensure the ultimate smoothness and precision of movement and secure locking.

The GK1555T-82TQD is a high-quality carbon fiber tripod and head kit built for demanding, globe-trotting photographers who like to travel light.
