Selling my Gitzo "Safari" tripod. 200-series, similar to current #220 Performance. 3-section legs, 2-piece center column, folds to approx 21". Goes extra-low, rises to approx 4' 9" max. See www.bhphotovideo.com for specs, pricing, of current, non-Safari models. Very attractive olive-green finish! Leg sections and center column are anodized a deep metallic green with black accents. Main casting is painted. Leg sections are reversed, for best performance when things get mucky. This, and the unique finish are no longer available from the "new" Gitzo. 5 years old; I am the original owner. Solid 8.0 condition--minor paint chipping, definitely used, but very pretty and not ABused. Minor modification: Plastic covering was removed from platform-I felt it worked better that way, but modification can be undone simply by replacing the platform. $175. No tripod head is included. Purchase of Gitzo 1228 Mountaineer prompts sale.
