Could this Gitzo GS5513S Rapid Center Column be used with RRS versa 43 tripod? Thanks.
No, the Gitzo GS5513S Rapid Center Column for Series 5 Systematic Tripods is only compatible with Gitzo Series 5 Systematic Tripods. For a Really Right Stuff Versa 3 series tripod, you could use the Really Right Stuff TA-3-QC Quick Column for Versa Series 3 Tripods, B&H # RETA3QKCOLMN.

2 Questions: 1. what is the diameter of the pole portion of this column? 2. Is the hook at the bottom threaded on with a 3/8 thread screw?
Would this fit a G410 tripod? The base plate of the tripod measures about 8.5cm.
What's the max. weight it can take. Going to be using this with Mamiya RZ64 pro and long lenses.
Thank you

question
My gitzo is from about 2008, and beleived to be systematic style as Gitzo did not mark the model number. I am wanting a center column for it and the drop in opening for the base plate is 69.8-70mm or about 2.75. Seems Gitzo also doesnt not list these opening sizes or part numbers. My tripod is Cardon fiber. ThanksIf you have that, please send part number.
This is made for the Series 5 so will be way too big. What you need is item # GS3513S which is made for the Series 3 & 4.

question
With this column fully down, how tall is the portion that protrudes above the spider? (lock-collar and the top-pad of the column?)
Hi Robert, with the column fully retracted, it is 2 inches from the legs to the mounting plate. I use it on the Series 5 tripod.
