Gitzo Tripod

The tripod had been one of the top three items on my wish list of photography equipment:

  1. Canon 5D Mark II
  2. Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L
  3. Gitzo Tripod

I had been always been wanting to get a good and light tripod , especially after starting my Nendo’s Travelogue project. Since the middle column is removable, and the legs can be spread to a low horizontal position, it would prove very useful when taking low-angel shots. But the best feature of all would be its weight. The tripod alone just weighs 1.1 kg ^^

Hopefully it would prove useful during the next outing when comrade kodomut and I bring the Nendoroids out for a picnic.
