SKU CH-CYQN-6P5ZJ

A lightweight carbon-fibre tripod supporting 25 kg, folding to 54 cm and extending to 162 cm for versatile shooting

  • Supports heavy gear up to 55.1 lbs for sharp images
  • Weighs just 1.86 kg and folds to 54 cm for easy transport
  • Height range from 5.91 cm to 162 cm adapts to any terrain
  • Four-section legs with twist locks enable rapid setup
  • Removable centre column allows ground-level shooting at 5.91 cm

Professional Capacity Tripod

The Gitzo GT3542 Mountaineer Series 3 supports up to 55.1 lbs (25 kg) and is engineered for professional cameras with 300 mm lenses up to a maximum of 400 mm. Its Carbon Exact tubing with High Modulus lower sections increases rigidity for heavy equipment. This tripod is built for photographers who need maximum stability with long focal lengths.

Height Range and Portability

It extends to a maximum height of 63.78" (162 cm) and folds down to 21.26" (54 cm) while weighing only 4.1 lbs (1.86 kg). The minimum working height reaches 5.91" (15.01 cm) when the centre column is removed for Ground Level Set. This range covers low-angle macro work through to standing-eye-level compositions.

Four-Section G-lock Ultra Legs

The four-section legs use twist locks with G-lock Ultra to prevent dust and particles from entering the leg mechanism. A redesigned top spider adds structural stiffness across the leg junctions. Buyers who need a three-section design for even faster deployment or a built-in levelling base will need a different model.

Questions about this item

Will the 25 kg capacity hold my existing 300 mm lens and professional camera body?

The tripod supports up to 55.1 lbs (25 kg), engineered for professional cameras with 300 mm lenses up to a maximum of 400 mm.

How can I verify the G-lock Ultra twist locks are sealing out dust after I set the legs?

Extend each 4-section leg fully; the G-lock Ultra design should engage with a firm, grit-free twist and no visible particles inside the carbon fibre tubes.

Does the box include a centre column for the 5.91 cm minimum height or must I buy one separately?

The centre column is included and removable for Ground Level Set, allowing the tripod to reach its lowest height of 5.91 cm without extra parts.
