Testimonials
I had a lot of questions about adding accessories to my tripod and long lens.This is the only site that gave me personal attention and advice. They were more than happy to assist me in all my needs, from gimbals mounts to flash attachments. All the accessories that I purchased were right on and fit perfect and their prices are better then any other site that I visited. I highly recommend this site for all your photo needs. The people here and it's owner are fantastic. Thank you very much for all your help. Harry Meares Jr.

I purchased a Walkstool portable stool from Naturescape.net. GREAT experience. Their price was $79.99. Amazon was $10 more and B&H cameras was $5 more. Shipping is FREE. Ordered late Friday afternoon and received product around noon on Monday. I checked them out on ResellerRatings first. They only had seven ratings, buy every rating was five checkmarks. Soon after placing the order, I received an email from buySAFE informing me that Naturescape.net had, at no cost to me, purchased a buySafe “Cerificate of Guarantee” This does three things: Gurantees I get what I orderd, up to $500, or my money back, provides “identity theft protection” and a “low price guarantee” up to $100. There was a place on the buySAFE email to send a note to Naturescape.net. I send them a short note thanking them for the buySAFE guarantee. I soon received a personal note from the owner thanking me for my business and stating that he is a professional photographer. He suggested I call or email him personally if I had a questions about photography and camera equipment. I know it was a personal, rather than “boilerplate,” note because he told me how much he liked his Walkstool. That is what I call GREAT service!!! I’ll order from Naturescape.net again.

This item qualifies for a Gitzo rebate!
The Gitzo GT2531 6x carbon fiber tripod is recommended for lightweight camcorders, spotting scopes and DSLRs with 200mm to a 300mm lenses. This tripod offers an excellent maximum load capacity and good torsional rigidity. A series 2 tripod is the ideal solution for photographers that are looking for a solid tripod at a good weight.

When Gitzo launched the Mountaineer tripods in 1994, they were the world's first carbon fiber tripods, featuring 6X carbon fiber tube, made of a unique structure of six crossed layers that maximizes rigidity, vibration absorption and lightweight performance. The 6X tube has a high density structure made of top quality ultra-thin carbon fibers (7µm or 0.007 mm).

The GT2531 features a new "Ultra Low" leg setting for a lower shooting angle than previous models, and a magnesium upper casting for improved torsion rigidity.

The G-Lock leg locking system increases system rigidity by 20% and allows quicker and stronger leg locking. Gitzo has added a solid machined aluminum upper disc with a new Safe Lock material that cuts vibration and improves grip between tripod and head. The upper disc can also be fitted directly to the upper casting, removing the center column for ground level photography or to save weight. All new Mountaineer tripods come with a convenient anti-dust bag for storage and packing.

Please see the Specifications tab below for additional information.

ALR:
Gitzo has introduced 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:
G-Lock is the new Gitzo leg locking system. The locking mechanism 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 new 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. Remove column and fix the disk directly to the upper casting using the column hook - no tools needed.


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.


LEG ENDS:
This tripod features removable rubber feet, allowing you to easily change worn out rubber feet or to fit other accessories, such as spiked feet or snow/sand shoes.


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.


REVERSIBLE COLUMN:
The rapid column can easily be inverted for an alternative shooting angle or low level macro work.


SAFE LOCK PLATE:
With set screw for additional security for your tripod head unit.


OPTIONAL
Leg Coats and Pod Pads which protect your shoulder while carrying are available for this tripod model. Some replacement parts for this tripod are available through the NatureScapes.Net store.
