Gitzo GT1542 Mountaineer Series 1, 4-Section Carbon Tripod Summary
The Gitzo GT1542 Mountaineer Series 1, 4-Section tripod is a carbon fibre system designed to offer rigidity and stability, combined with a high level of portability for photographers who travel. An excellent choice for photographers on the move, Series 1 is recommended for cameras up to DSLR weight, (including mirrorless and compact), with 135mm lenses (up to a maximum of 200mm).
The Series 1 uses Carbon eXact tubes with stiff HM carbon for all leg sections. For significant improvements in rigidity, tube diameters are now greater than previous models: at 14.7mm, the thinnest section of the GT1542 is 22.5% larger than its predecessor.
Key features

- Angle selector and G-lock ultra delivers quick, ergonomic operation and set-up
- Quickly remove or reverse column for ground level shooting and macro
- Slim and lightweight Gitzo carbon tripod with a standard shooting height
- Easily attach heads and accessories via 1/4″ and 3/8″ attachment
Gitzo GT1542 Mountaineer Series 1, 4-Section In more detail
Mountaineer tripods feature G-lock Ultra, a redesigned version of Gitzo's signature leg lock system G-lock. G-lock Ultra has even more comfortable operation and reduced risk of debris entering the tubes and locking mechanisms. It is fine-tuned for the smaller differences in tube diameter between leg sections ofCarbon eXact tubes, contributing to increased stiffness of the legs.
The Ground Level Set mechanism, which lets the photographer remove the centre column to get the camera closer to the ground, has been completely redesigned for faster operation. A single simple unlocking ring under the column's upper disc frees the column while keeping the upper disc solidly in place on the tripod, with no need to unscrew and re-fit the upper disc and hook as in previous versions.
Gitzo’s Mountaineer tripods are made to be extremely rigid and lightweight, combining portability with robustness for busy photographers. Mountaineer series is at the forefront of technology and include the G-lock system and a removable centre column, offering high quality performance and portability for travel.
