FS: Gitzo and Acratech

I have two Gitzo tripods, an Acratech ballhead, and an Acratech leveling base for sale.

First up is a 6-year-old Gitzo G1028 Mk2 tripod. This is an ultra-light carbon fiber 4-element tripod. It is suitable for ultralight backpacking, will easily fit on board an airplane, etc. It is very stable with the top three segments and moderately stable fully-extended. It has a telescoping CF center segment. I have shot this tripod even with large 35mm bodies+lenses with care. It is in nice condition and has held up well, like all Gitzos. $265. A picture is coming.

Next is a 1-year-old Gitzo GT2542L tripod. This is a substantial 4-segment CF tripod with the auto-locking twisty things. (A technical term.) It is light, collapses small, but can get very tall if needed. It includes only the top plate and no center column. I have used it with the big 35mm glass as well as medium format gear. Probably one of the best all-around go-everywhere-without-killing-yourself tripods. These are $730 new; mine is $625 and comes in the original box and bag. It still "smells new" the first time you close the legs and the air blows out of them. :)




I'm selling an Acratech Ballhead. This is the original Acratech, and it's been well-loved and always worked well. There is some brassing and general indications that this head has been used in the field for 6 or 7 years. It is bombproof and will work smoothly you for you right out of the box. I have never had to do any maintenance on it. It is very similar to the "ultimate" ballhead they sell now for $290, but without the bubble level. $210.




Finally, I have an Acratech leveling base. It's about one year old and works great, with a bubble level. These are $150 new, and mine is $110. This one is pretty new and in really good shape.
