Induro GIT504L Grand Series 5 Stealth Carbon Fiber Tripod

solid and lightweight
I purchased this tripod to mount heavy lenses together with my sirui carbon gimbal and it is very solid. On the field and elsewhere, it is so easy to carry. Paddings are attached with a velcro so it rotates as you carry it. I then attached a strip of double adhesive tape inside to secure it. Now i am using it for a video set up and still feels solid. i haven't extended the 3 section on this set up because i don't need that much height but at 2 sections extended it is solid. I'm happy with the product.

Excellent for travel!
I purchased this tripod for ease of traveling, meaning I can pack this and minimal photography gear in 2 carry-ons. It fits well inside of an approved backpack and works well on site. Its a lot thinner in the lower legs than I imagined, but its very stable and fairly light. Maximum height is perfect for me at 510 and should be relatively comfortable up to about 62. The unit is classic Induro Grand, meaning its got a great warranty, its made well, and is as stable as its size allows.

Great fit and finish. Smooth stable operation.
Very happy with the fit and finish. Smooth easy operation. Gimbal head and camera are only about 10 lbs in my setup so the Induro handles it easily. I put the Legcoat covers on mine for the added cover and comfort in transport. The flexibility to have an interchangeable central insert could mean I just grab the gimbal with a base insert or a ball head with the base insert. For now I'm good with just switching them up as needed. Really worth the purchase price. Highly recommended.

Great Stability
I was looking for carbon fiber tripod legs that were sturdy with no center column. I figured I would buy this one that supports 88lbs that way no matter what equipment I buy this should handle it without a problem. I bought it on sale and couldnt be happier, it is rock solid! The only thing I wish it came with are some spiked feet or smaller rubber feet. The feet that came with the tripod offer outstanding stability but are extremely large.

Best tripod for the money
If you are looking for a good solid tripod that is light weight and reasonably priced this it. What I love most about this tripod compared to others Ive had in the past is that it comes with everything you need. A nice padded bag that is big enough to put in it with the head attached, tool kit, and the foot can be changed out to have padded or spike footing. Best of all its a good solid tripod.

T tripod that will replace all others.
This could be the tripod that replaces all my others. Build quality and stability is BETTER than Gitzo. I have two Gitzos, a series 2 and a series 5 and both have had issues. This thing folds up short, no central column great for stability. I cam use it for long hikes, and have mounted my nikon 500 mm f4 With a wimberley sidekick and get really sharp images. IM an INDURO famboy now.

A heavy duty tripod for a bargain price!
Unlike the competition from GITZO, this tripod comes complete with 3 different sets of feet and an excellent heavy duty tripod bag. The bag is big enough to hold this tripod with ball head (in my case, an RRS BH-55) installed with room for a monopod as well. Check out Bryan's review on The-Digital-Picture.com. I found no issues with stability or ease of leg lock adjustment.

Love it !!! I would definetely buy again.
I've never had a good tripod before. I purchased the GIT404XLand a Really Right Stuff BH-55 Ball Head for my Nikon D5 and Nikon 400 f2.8 combination.. In my budget range this is the best I found and am really happy with the products. The tripod is rock solid with my camera / lens combo. You will not be disappointed in the stability of these legs!

Nice and sturdy tripod
A 3 section tripod without a center column, super stable and comes with spikes and flat bottom replaceable foot ends. The level adjustment is sometimes tricky as the leg twist locks tend to get loosened easily up if you don't get them right, you may have to do a little more than a half turn. Once setup correctly, its a dream to work with.

Perfect for my 600mm f/4
At first I chose among tripods Gitzo, but dissatisfied with a very high price went to Induro and choose the model among best reviews on B&H, but after the test in the NYC superstore , I have no doubt that even without the reviews on the site, it is very durable and stable tripod.

Good Value
Impressively built and looks great. I'm currently using it with a zoom telephoto (not a big prime) but it seems more than strong enough to support a big lens. Comes with a nice case, feet and several tools. The leg locks are smooth and easy to adjust. Very happy with this tripod.

Outstanding solid and lightweight tripod!!
This is by far the most solid and stable tripod I have ever owned; and it is lightweight to boot. Although I have not owned either a Gitzo or Really Right Stuff tripod, I have used the Gitzo equivalent and this Induro is every bit as stable and well built. Highly recommended.

This happens when you buy bad quality product
Don't expect this product would last long. it will fall a apart when you are ready to shoot birds. it cracks from inside and the legs fall off. I won't buy Induro anymore. it's not saving.it's wasting money and will ruin your trip

Excellent center column.
Easy to install and use. Good range. Winding handle of the center column is a bit fiddly to use as it is quite small and you have to hold it very steady when winding up and down. Other than that it's great.

Poor Customer Service to go with a Poor product
Purchased in July of 2017, one of the legs continually comes apart, nothing but the runaround via customer support trying to resolve this. I do not recommend this product!

Great tripod !
I've only used it a little but it seems very sturdy for my Nikon 750 and my Nikon 200mm - 500mm lens. It came with three sets of feet and a nice bag. Very satisfied.

Great tripod
I put a Wimberly head on this beefy tripod. Excellent stability and the extra height allows for easy placement on uneven terrain. I highly recommend it.

GIT404L because it works.
I got this tripod after much research. Used it this weekend near around and on Mt. Shasta. Worked as expected and it was the only outing I had so far.
