Markins Q3 vs Q3 Traveller

WuffRuff · 5th June 2009

Markins has these 2 different Q3 models, which confuses me.
Anyone knows what's the difference?

eow · 5th June 2009

all the same except the 'T' version is of a smaller size specially made to match the the gitzo traveller series

SNAG · 5th June 2009

Any idea on the latest prices, and do they include a mounting plate?

Q3: 430
Q3T: 450

No plate.

The size of Q3 and Q3T is almost identical. The only difference is that Q3T has a smaller panning base to accommodate the reverse folding of traveler series Tripod such as GT1541T that allows the legs to fold back and hide the ballhead.

Here is a good review on both GT1541T and Q3T.
