Gitzo Mountaineer 2-series legs, long

It is the best compromises I could make for a single tripod, not crazy heavy, yet tall, doesn’t need to hold more than mirrorless gear, and can achieve precise level with enhanced panorama making capability.


That's a VERY well thought out set-up,Nat,,; even down to the red (loss-proof / high visibility) leg-warmers.

I confess to having a "thing" for those "quick set-up" Gitzo Mountaineers with the superb QD heads (w/ friction control). I've been oogling one on-line for the last couple of weeks, but I'm undecided about which series to go with. I've currently got the 2-series Gitzo Traveller kit with the GH-1382QD head, and a 3-series XLS Systematic with the GH-3382QD head, plus a 5-section 4-series Systematic with Jobu BWG-HD3 gimbal-head, and finally, a 3-section 5-series Systematic. I'll also be adding the new 4-series head GH-4383LR later this year. I can't really justify adding the Mountaineer,,, but whyyyy notttt.
