The Traveler alpha is a compact lightweight travel tripod in Gitzo’s distinctive high-quality design and materials. It weighs 1.43kg, extends to 165 cm high and safely holds up to 10kg of gear. The 180° leg-folding system pioneered by Gitzo, the Traveler alpha’s legs reverse-fold around its centre column and head, allowing it to fold down to 43cm. This model is recommended for use with lenses up to 135mm. With its legs spread and its short centre column inserted, the tripod goes lower for those low-angle or macro shots. Its 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, designed to ensure security and reduce size. The specially designed compact rubber feet ensure perfect camera stability.
