Traveler tripods are designed for globe-trotting photographers who require the ultimate lightweight, extremely compact tripod with professional performance. In 2004, Gitzo developed the Traveler’s revolutionary 180° leg folding mechanism. A world first for a tripod, it makes more efficient use of folded space by accommodating the centre column and head in between the folded tripod legs. The extremely compact design also makes the tripod quick to set up, while carbon fibre tubing throughout makes it sturdy and lightweight. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then many, many other tripod manufacturers also recognise the brilliance of our Traveler concept. But the Gitzo Traveler remains unmatched in either performance or stability, and our latest version only broadens the gap between the original and the rest.

The Gitzo GT1545T Series 1 Traveler carbon fiber tripod is a headless, ultra-compact, 4-section support with an 180° leg folding system pioneered by Gitzo, which enables its legs to reverse-fold around the center column and an optional ball head, allowing it to fold down to 42.5 cm. The GT1545T weighs 1.055 Kg, extends to a height of 153 cm and holds up to 10 kg of gear. It is recommended for use with 135mm lenses (200mm max.). With its included short center columninserted, the tripod gets down to 22 cm for low-angle or macro shots.
The tripod’s 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, specifically designed to ensure security in reduced size. Its specially-designed compact rubber feet can easily be replaced if necessary. The Gitzo GT1545T has a 1/4″ and 3/8″ top attachment to easily attach heads or other accessories and comes with its own shoulder strap for comfortable carrying.
