Gitzo GT0531 Carbon 6X hardcase German-made ball head with aThe Gitzo GT0531 is slightly goofy looking, with its long, skinny 0 series legs. Nevertheless, this is one heck of a tripod: it weighs just over 700g, but it's built to support up to 5kg, and it's rock solid. Hard to overstate how sturdy this thing feels. Extends to about 4 feet with the centre column down, about 5 feet with the column up. Light cosmetic wear, good function. Includes storage pouch.
