The Gitzo Series 3 6X Tripod/Head Video Kit is designed as an ultra-sturdy video tripod, with a rated load capacity of 22 lbs (10 kg) at a height of up to 58.7" (149 cm). It includes the Series 3 Fluid Video Head with a 75mm Bowl Adapter--which makes it compatible with all video heads featuring a 75mm half-ball base (it's designed for DV and ENG cameras). This adapter can be removed and replaced with other accessories, making this a fully customizable system. The head also has several key features for video--separate pan-and-tilt locks, variable fluid drag controls for smooth repeatable actions, and a perfect balancing system. The counterbalance system is adjustable--six interchangeable springs cover camera weights from 2 to 22 pounds (1 to 10 kg). The tripod accepts a range of interchangeable center columns for normal use, heavy cameras or video work. This is a versatile, lightweight, highly functional compact location tripod for video or still photography.

More DetailsGitzo GK3500SV Overview
Safe Grip is a material used on the quick release plate that gives a safer lock between your camera and the head plate, preventing the camera from moving or slipping
With a ball head, the ability to lock and unlock the panoramic movement independent of front-back or lateral tilt movements is essential for a high level of control, especially in panoramic photography
The tripod's 75mm bowl adapter (which makes the tripod compatible with all video heads featuring a 75mm half-ball base) is treated with PTFE for ultra smooth and fluid operation--this adapter can be removed and replaced with other accessories, making this a fully customizable system
A new leveling system consisting of three independent leveling bubbles on the quick release plate and one in the ball stem, guarantees perfectly leveled images
The double quick-release safety system consists of two pins, one fixed and one manually operated by means of a button, that prevent camera equipment from suddenly dropping out of the head when the quick release locking knob is released--extremely useful with heavy equipment, long lenses and spotting scopes
The anti-rotation leg system makes it quick and easy to open and close the tripod by simply turning all of the locking rings in any order, and pulling the leg out--in seconds
The G-Lock mechanism has been redesigned for a 20% increase in rigidity, faster operation and stronger, safer locking--the special design also provides a "gravity lock" effect: the higher the load, the stronger the lock
The new six-crossed multilayer carbon fiber is 30% lighter than the previous 1.5 mm generation, and it features the same exceptional performance of stability, vibration absorption and unbeatable quality
Performance design allows the legs to be set individually at 24°, 55° and 90° to achieve any angle you need
