My new Gitzo GT2545T from Amazon (direct, not open box) came with half of the Gitzo label. The entire half of the label with the GITZO hologram letters and QR-code mas missing.

I immediately filled out a refund and return request. Have shipped back to Amazon and will not be buying from Amazon.

That's odd. I've never had issues with an Amazon-direct product but sucks you have to go through that. I've been an Amazon customer for well over a decade, including high-priced items. And their return policy is stellar.

I would give them another shot but up to you. Maybe you can also reach out to CS and see if they can credit you a few bucks for the inconvenience.

It went through the X-ray and they saw it. Then they got interested and then requested me remove it. they ruler measured it and from there it became an exercise in making them happy. I took off the center post as its head was already off to begin with. Then I pulled off each foot. I was even waiting to have to pull off at least the lower leg tubes but that didn't occur.for them it was the letter of the law thing. Stripping it down is simple.



That is an interesting idea re: RRS tripods - taking a larger size tripod with leg sections disassembled so its length is shorter and then re-assembling it on site. It might be the easiest tripod for doing so. I wonder what the largest RRS tripod is that would fit in standard carry one with legs disassembled? Could probably cut 4" off the min. length of the larger tripods.

I am new here and just getting my bearings but I have one of these and I could not imagine traveling without it. Some of the money I saw for some of those tripods in the first pages was pretty steep.

Great tripod, you won't be disappointed.

What head did you put on it?

Benro B00

My reasoning:
After removing center tube, the weight difference between 1545 and 2545 is merely 160 grams, which Benro B00 will further reduce. But i am getting stronger legs (1545 3rd part is like 2545s 4th part in diameter)

1340g - 1080g - 119g

Yup
It is light and has a panoramic base, the camera plate comes with it. Let me try it out.
