(More customer reviews)This tripod is great for almost any type of use, but ideal for travel purposes. It does have a weight limit so some of the supersized glass may have weight issues, but it is able to support my Canon 30D, battery grip and a 70-200mm lens.
The carbon fiber makes the tripod beautifully lightweight. I fit it through a loop on my Tamrac Velocity 6 sling bag (which is also a great travel item) and it just dangles behind me. Since it is so short when folded up I barely even know it is back there. If weight and size are an issue I can think of no better device. I am even buying my second one since my first got stolen.
Do not be deterred by the 5 section breakdown. When the tripod is folded up all five nobs per leg are so close that with one hand stroke I can grab all five, loosen and extend in one motion. Same with retraction. It is very quick. Not to mention how solid and strongly the legs work. You have to touch one of these to appreciate both its quality and abilities.
For those who care ... it is pretty damn sexy as well.

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. Gitzos unique patented 180 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.FEATURES:
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: Remove column and fix the disk directly to the upper casting using the column hook. No tools needed.
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.
