For sale is a Gitzo GT5532S Tripod
Weighs 2.8 kilos / rated to support 40 kilos.
Includes the original box and all factory documentation and accessories. It's in perfect condition apart from some oxidation on the rubber feet.
Also includes a Gitzo GC5101 tripod bag. The bag has some additional room - a short alt-az head might be able to remain fitted to the tripod for a nice grab and go.
