Gitzo Tripod GT3533LS (Long Systematic) is a very powerful 6-layer carbon fiber tripod for heavy duty and hard use in the most demanding conditions.
In its third generation, the improvements in brief are these:
Carbon eXact, optimized tubes, torsionally stiffer than the competitors' 8-layers.
G-Lock Ultra leg lock that is tighter against penetrating dirt and particles, locks harder. with less clearance between the legs and are more ergonomic to handle, despite the more compact design.
New, better design of the leg angle selectors, now with return spring.
New, large articulated feet. A set of standard feet is included.
Otherwise, the triangular spindle remains, which does not require tools to loosen the center disc. At the bottom of the center counter is a heavy duty hook to hang loads or the camera on. Like all tripods in the Systematic series, there is no center column. Here, a little weight is thus saved and the stand becomes extremely torsionally rigid and strong, yet flexible and compact, with almost no protruding details that can get stuck or tangled. Good for those who, for example, like to carry their tripod in the field with the legs extended over the neck. The legs are 3-part and for people up to 175-200 cm it is excellent to extend the legs completely or almost completely and obtain a comfortable tube height without the need for a center column. The entire construction is astonishingly light despite a solid execution! In short - the ultimate tripod for the viewer! Supplied with protective bag and accessory bag containing 3 standard feet, a set of extra kevlar washers in the event that the leg lock function fails, keys for adjusting the leg angular inertia and a tube of grease for the leg locks.
