Gitzo's eye-level Series 3 carbon fiber tripod, delivered with a Gitzo Systematic leveling ballhead with quick release
An ideal kit for use with large telephoto lenses directly mounted to the Systematic head
Legs assembled from Gitzo-specific "6x" ultra-strong and super-thin (0.007mm) carbon fiber strands
Maximum upper leg segment diameter of 32mm; appropriate for SLR cameras with 300mm f/2.8 telephoto lenses, HD video cameras, large binoculars, and spotting scopes
Extremely-refined GH5380SQR Systematic head with great friction control, a PTFE-coated ball, hydraulic locking technology, and Gitzo's 'profile C' quick release system (can be made to fit the Arca-Swiss system standard with Gitzo's GS5160CDT adapter)
Gitzo's "ALR" Anti Leg Rotation design prohibits segments from rotating; they can only move directly up or down
Gitzo's "G-Lock" is the industry's strongest locking mechanism
Rounded hard rubber leg tips can be exchanged for optional GS3030 self-locking feet, G1220.129B3/G1220.129LB3 ground spikes, G1220.130B3 all-terrain feet, G1220.130B3 large feet, or G1586B3 non-marring location shoes
Systematic tripods are supplied with a flat top plate. The optional support attachments can be fitted by simply unlocking the bolt in the top casting, lifting out the flat plate and fastening in the alternative adapter or column.
Safe Lock Disc
The Safe Lock Disc top plate, composed of a techno-polymer compound, makes it possible to control the locking torque without prematurely stopping camera rotation and ensuring that users' equipment is safely and effectively locked in place.
Anti-Rotation Leg (ALR) System
The Anti-Rotation Leg (ALR) system makes it quick and
easy to open and close the tripod. Simply turn all of the locking
rings at once and the whole leg can be pulled out in seconds.
G-Lock Design
The G-Lock mechanism has been completely redesigned in order to achieve a 20% increase in rigidity, faster operation and stronger, safer locking. G-Lock's special design also provides a "gravity lock" effect: the higher the load applied vertically to the leg, the stronger the lock.
1mm Gitzo 6X Carbon Fiber Tube
Gitzo was able to develop a six-crossed multilayer carbon fiber 30% lighter than the previous 1.5mm generation that features the same exceptional performance of stability and vibration absorption and unbeatable quality.
Performance Design
Performance design allows the legs to be set individually at 24°, 55° and 90° to cover every angle you want to shoot.
Removable Leg Tips
Removable self-locking rubber leg tips are interchangeable with Gitzo universal accessories such as the big foot, long spike, etc.
