£999.99

Tripod Leg Info:
The GT5543LS is the 4 section long model, a size very popular for its balance between closed length and sufficient height even without a column

The Systematic is the choice of exacting professional photographers who use long lenses and heavy cameras.

Not only are Systematic Gitzo's strongest and most stable tripods, they're also modular, with a top casting element that opens and closes to allow each tripod to be configured with a flat disk, geared or sliding centre column, video half-ball adaptor, levelling base or other Systematic accessories. The latest range features Carbon eXact tubes, new ultra-stable feet and the Easy Link attachment, making the Systematic even more stable, versatile, and ergonomic. The Easy Link attachment (3/8'' thread) allows the user to attach various accessories such as a Manfrotto arm to use lighting accessories.

Series 5 (top leg diameter 41.3mm) is the choice of the most demanding professionals, being the most rigid tripods in the whole Gitzo range. The top casting is larger than that of Series 3 & 4 Systematics in order to provide maximum stability.

Tripod Head info:
The Gitzo Fluid Gimbal head is ideal for wildlife photography and birdwatching, in particular extensive observation, thanks to the perfect balance of heavy equipment that it guarantees.

Usually applied on video heads, the fluid cartridge is the most distinctive functional feature of the Gimbal head. The fluid cartridge damps vibrations and keeps movement smooth throughout observation and shooting, even when manipulating very large lenses

The Fluid Gimbal cartridge features an innovative fluidity control system, the WhipPan, which ensures the best device control, even with high-speed movements.
