The Gitzo GK3532-80QD is a Series 3 tripod/head kit that includes a GT3532 Mountaineer Tripod and a GH3382QD Center Ball Head, recommended for professional DSLRs with 300mm lenses (up to a maximum of 400mm).

The Gitzo GT3532 is a standard-height 3-section Series 3 Mountaineer tripod; its new design, along with its use of Carbon eXact tubes, makes it lighter in weight yet more rigid than the equivalent preceding model. It has a top leg section diameter of 32.9mm.

The tripod is carefully matched with a GH3382QD Center Ball Head, engineered and designed focusing on ultimate smoothness and precision of the movement and locking. Its large ball and quick release adapter assure comfortable use with heavier equipment.

• Removable 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.
  
  
• Ground Level Set (with unlocking ring):
  Completely redesigned for faster operation, this Ground Level Set mechanism permits to remove the centre column to get the camera closer to the ground. A single simple unlocking ring under the column's upper disc frees the column while keeping the upper disc solidly in place on the tripod (Patent Pending).
  
  
• G-Lock Ultra:
  Gitzo's G-lock system has been redesigned from the inside out; G-lock Ultra is smoother and softer to use, and is designed to reduce dust and grit from getting in.
  
  
• Reversible Column:
  The rapid column can easily be inverted for an alternative shooting angle or low level macro work.
  
  
• 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 centre column. Useful with long/heavy lenses, on uneven ground or in windy conditions.
• Carbon eXact:
  Revolutionary Carbon eXact tubes are even stiffer to maximize rigidity and image stability. Carbon eXact optimizes the fibre composition for each tube size, using HM (High Modulus) carbon fibre in the narrower tubes to make them stiffer. The tube diameters are also optimized: the final leg section of a 4 section Series 1 tripod is now 22.5% thicker than its predecessor.
• Leg Angle Selector with Spring:
  Offers large grip space and features a built-in spring to help speed up switches between the 3 leg angles.
