Giottos YTL Classic Carbon Fiber Tripods
Lightweight, Compact Tripod
Designed to stand up to the demands of travel and outdoor photography, the Giottos YTL Classic Series tripod bridges the gap between profession and compact tripod setups. Constructed with eight layers of carbon fiber, the body has a unique Y-shaped center column that reduces torsion and allows the legs to fold down closer to the body. With a maximum height of 73 inches and a minimum height of just over 7 inches, it can capture steady shots in a variety of positions. A ballast hook at the bottom of the center column gives you the option to add stabilizing weights. Finally, the tripod’s four leg sections are equipped with quick-lever locks, eight calibration marks on the lowest section, and removable rubber feet—so you can swap in spikes for more rugged terrain.
