The GT3542L has a load capacity of 21kg, reaches a height of 178 centimetres and can be folded down to 59 centimetres for transport. The centre column on the tripod can be removed for the ground level set, allowing the tripod to reach its lowest height of 6.3 inches. The four section legs are secured with twist locks with G-Lock Ultra, which has an internal O-foot. A ring ensures that dust and particles cannot enter the leg system. The upper spider has been redesigned to improve rigidity. With large angles for the leg angles, you have more freedom of movement when adjusting the leg angles. With a ballast hook on the centre column, you can add weight to increase the stability of the tripod.
