The GT3542L has a load capacity of 46.3 lbs, extends to a height of 70.1 inches, and can be folded down to 23.2 inches for transport. The center column on the tripod can be removed for the Ground Level Set, allowing the tripod to reach its lowest height of 6.3 inches. The four-section legs are secured with G-Lock Ultra twist locks, which feature an internal O-foot. A ring prevents dust and particles from entering the leg system. The upper spider has been redesigned to improve rigidity. With large angles for the leg positions, you have more freedom of movement when adjusting the leg angles. A ballast hook on the center column allows you to add weight to increase the stability of the tripod.
