Gitzo GT5543XLS eXact Carbon Systematic XL Series 5

The GT5543XLS Systematic series 5 Tripod (Extra Long) by Gitzo is a high-capacity carbon fiber tripod. It fits perfectly in the Series 5 line-up thanks to its minimal weight, durability and compromise-free stability.

The Extra Long size is new in the Series 5, for users requiring overhead height. The tripod extends from 10 cm to a maximum of 198 cm, while maintaining its 40 kilos load bearing capacity.

The patented 6X carbon eXact tubing offers maximum rigidity while keeping its weight to an absolute minimum. Having a load bearing capacity of 40 kilos, while only weighing 3.1 kg, can easily be called ideal. Moreover, with a folded length of a mere 72 cm, the tripod is easy and practical to carry along.

The tripods maximum rigidity is secured by Gitzo's G-Lock Ultra Twist Locks. They maintain stable, solid connections between leg sections and also prevent joint damage by blocking out dirt, dust, and moisture. The tripod legs are equipped with 50 mm articulating rubber feet.

These provide a stable and versatile base for setting the tripod on most surfaces. It is also possible to replace the feet with metal spikes for more stability in sand, dirt, mud, snow and/or ice. The tripod base also features a 3/8"-16 Easy Link attachment thread. This allows you to quickly and easily attach your equipment.
