I have always been a big fan of the Gitzo line of travel tripods, so much so that I recently purchased this set because at this price, it was a no-brainer. I didn’t really need a monopod, but now I have one! The ballhead is nice and uses Arca style plates, so most photographers should be ready to go. I also use an Acratech ballhead on it with a levelling plate without any issues.
If you’re in the market for a good travel tripod, add the Gitzo GT1545T to your short list for consideration. There is currently a $380 rebate on the tripod, monopod and ballhead combo at B&H Photo.

About The Gitzo GIGT1545T
The Gitzo GIGT1545T Traveler Series 1 Carbon Fiber Tripod is a compact support system with legs that fold around the center column and optional head. These reverse-folding legs contribute to the tripod’s folded length of just 16.7″. It extends to 60.2″ high and can hold up to 22 lb worth of gear. With the included short center column installed, the tripod can get down to 8.6″ for macro or low-angle shooting.
The tripod employs Carbon eXact tubing for added strength and stiffness compared to the Carbon 6X tubes. Traveler G-lock is a pared-down version of Gitzo’s G-lock, specifically designed for the Traveler tripods to reduce overall size. These legs feature space-saving feet that fit the Traveler series’ compact design. A shoulder strap is included for easy carrying.
