It was me, I sent you new one(red) it looks nice with the gitzo...
It does, doesn't it!
It's my camera bling.
It was very nice to see the comparison of the last segment of the legs between the two. Thanks for the post.
But for me the fact that the series2 is almost twice as long as the 1541t collapsed and is a pound heavier made the decision for me. It's the difference between thinking twice to take the heavier set of sticks or just packing it on my Think Tank all the time.
That's exactly why I got the traveller pod, and it's now going on all of my backpacking trips without a second thought. There's no way I'd take the 2-series, if it doesn't fit in my day pack, it'll never come 'just in case' - only on pure photography excersions. Luckily for my hubby, I got the 2-series first, otherwise I would probably be happy with the traveller pod, and never bought a 2nd set of legs.
However I'm glad I have the 2-series, especially for windy conditions.

You seem to have attached a RRS clamp instead of the Markins clamp that normally comes with the ballhead attached. But what I'm wondering about is if it is possible to detach the clamp from the Q3 Traveler too. So far I've only seen photos from the Q3 only and NOT the Q3 Traveler. I really would like to use RRS clamps because nearly all of my gear is better compatible with RRS than Markins...
