Digital product summary information
Manufacturer: GitzoModel: GT0530
Product features:
- ALR - A new Anti Leg Rotation system, which means the tripod can be opened in less than 15 seconds. Simply loosen all the twist locks on each leg at the same time, then pull the leg down and tighten the locks individually.
- G-Lock: The Gitzo leg locking system has been completely redesigned in order to achieve a 20% increase in rigidity, faster operation and stronger, safer locking. G-Lock's special design also provides a "gravity lock" effect: the higher the load applied vertically to the leg, the stronger the lock.
- Ground Level Set: This feature allows you to remove the center column to save weight and get the camera closer to the ground. Uses existing components: the upper disc with reversible 1/4 - 3/8 bolt and the column hook assembly.
- Hook: This built-in accessory allows you to hang a stabilizing weight (e.g. a full camera bag or a sand/water bag) from the bottom of the tripod center column. Useful with long heavy lenses, on uneven ground or in windy conditions.
- Rapid Column: The center column locking collar above the tripod shoulder makes it easier to adjust the column quickly. Series 1 and above are built with an anti-rotation grooved center column for improved stability.

Digital camera reviews of Gitzo GT0530 6X Carbon Fiber 0 Series 3 Section G-Lock Mountaineer Tripod
Digital camera Review: Light and solid for backpacking support
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this to provide support for day hikes and backpacking. It's not as tall as I would prefer, but adequate. I've used it with RRS ball head from my main tripod with a Nikon D300 and three different lenses and it's done what I purchased it to do. It is really light, but the center post includes a hook to hang weight from, to add more stability. Not much heavier than a good monopod would be, yet way more support.
