Gitzo Systematic Series 3 Carbon Fiber 3-Section Long Tripod for Video
Gitzo's Systematic tripods are modular, with interchangeable video bowls, flat disks, center columns, leveling bases and other components. Because they have leg angle settings but no column as standard, Systematic tripods are all capable of near-ground level shooting.Leg tubes are in 6X carbon fiber with Gitzo's efficient G-locks. A long 3-section tripod that reaches eye level when fully open, the GT3532LSV is in Gitzo's Series 3 - a particularly flexible and adaptable size, ideal for use with camcorders and HDSLRs with lenses up to 400mm and under loads of up to 55lbs (25kg). This video-specific model comes fitted with a central 75mm video half bowl.
G-Lock
G-Lock is the new Gitzo leg locking system. The locking mechanism has been completely redesigned in order to achieve a 20% increase in rigidity, faster operation and stronger, safer locking. G-Lock's special design also provides a 'gravity lock' effect: the higher the load applied vertically to the leg, the stronger the lock.
Hook
This built-in accessory allows you to hang a stabilizing weight (e.g. a full camera bag or a sand/water bag) from the bottom of the tripod center column. Useful with long, heavy lenses, on uneven ground or in windy conditions.
Leg Ends
All tripods and monopods in Series 1 and above are provided with removable rubber feet. This feature allows you to easily change worn out rubber feet or to fit other accessories, such as spiked feet or snow/sand shoes. (4 sections tripods in Series 1 are excluded because the final leg section is too narrow to fit these ends).
