i had hesitations on getting this bag because of what other tall people had said, like its waist straps are like belly straps on tall people and such. the bag has well padded straps and a well padded back and i think its size will keep it fro Philadelphia On-Site Truck Repair

This is a Review of the Gitzo G1340 3 section systematic Tripod. This is my second Gitzo. I also have a 2 series Basalt (GT2931). However with the addition of a Canon 400mm f5.6 I need something more stable and i also wanted something with eye level height . The first thing you'll notice about the G1340 is how stable it is! Even at it highest setting (153cm) it's one very stable tripod indeed. I've matched it up with a Kirk BH-1 with excellent results. Fit and finish are second to none. Why shell out big $$$$ on lenses and Cameras and get a cheap supermarket tripod? If you what the best out of your lenses a Good tripod like the Gitzo G1340 .

Very sturdy even with 4 leg sections extended. Opens to a good height and works low down too. Very good build quality. 3 leg angle settings, set individually per leg. Top plate can be removed and or reversed - good for storage.

Wingnut style locks can get in the way for very low angle shooting or when carrying in a camera rucksack/tripod holder.

Gitzo 1345 Review This review is for the Gitzo 1345, which is the 4 section leg version of this product. Great tripod, built like a tank. I certainly don't miss the centre column. Great leg locks, work well in the field after a bit of practise.
