Gitzo GT3840C

This Gitzo GT3840C Basalt Compact Tripod (Series 3) comes with a tripod upper "Power Disc"--made of machined solid aluminum, with two locking screws, one to lock the head, the other to safely lock the disc onto the column, giving a rock-solid connection for safety and stability; the G-Lock anti-dust leg-locking system; anti-leg rotation (ALR) which allows you to open all the legs completely in less than 15 seconds; Ground Level Set, making it possible to work very low to the ground;  third ground-level leg spread for ultra low ground position; and self-locking feet. This compact version folds to less than 17", and, like all Series 3 basalt tripods, this one features a new magnesium upper casting for a further weight reduction.
