Product Description
With such a good ratio of compact folded length to extended open height, the Traveler is the ideal tripod to carry with you around the world. Gitzo's unique patented 180 folding mechanism accommodates the head inside the folded tripod legs and makes this the smallest folded tripod for its open size and number of sections. Matching this compactness with the sturdiness of lightweight carbon fiber and good speed in setup makes the Travelers the ultimate tripods.

VERY nice, light and STRONG tripod August 7, 2008
I was a little hesitant about paying this much for a tripod but all I can say is that it is half the weight of most I have lifted yet extends to the same size. It is very compact when closed (about 17") and weighs (with the Gitzo G1278M head) about 3 pounds, which is great when I travel. Even my wife, who is not into photography equipment much, said that the piece is very attractive and light enough so that she may borrow it once in a while.
Very nice piece, no regrets.
Gitzo 1541T Traveller tripod October 20, 2008
Lightweight carbon fiber tripod, folds extremely small. I normally use a bigger stronger carbon fiber Gitzo tripod with an Acratech head for my Nikon D2X. I got the 1541T (with a lightweight Really Right Stuff head) for travelling light with hand luggage only. Certainly, my normal tripod better suits the weight of the Nikon with a decent lens, and the 1541 cannot match its strength and stability. However, the 1541 scores so highly on portability that it is well worth considering for situations where saving weight and space is paramount. And for a lighter camera such as the D700 it could be a first choice, as it has all the usual Gitzo virtues of versatility, speed of adjustment, high rigidity-to-weight ratio and high build quality.
