The Gitzo Traveler Kit S-1, 5-piece GT1555T (GK1555T-82TQD) is a masterpiece for photographers traveling light in the Engadine or anywhere in the world. This carbon fiber tripod kit, weighing just 1.42 kg and with a packed length of 35.5 cm, combines compactness, stability, and precision. Thanks to its 180° folding mechanism, the five leg sections fold around the center column and the GH1382TQD ball head, making it ideal for backpacking trips to Piz Bernina or landscape photography at Lake Sils.
