Gitzo Magic

Well established as a premium tripod manufacturer, Gitzo has upheld this quality with the Gitzo GT5543LS Systematic Series 5 tripod. This carbon fibre tripod is impressively lightweight 2.7kg but offers unrivalled durability and stability with a maximum payload of 40kg and a maximum height of 155cm. The 4 section legs are made with Gitzo's Carbon eXact tubes and complemented by the G-Lock Ultra Twist locks which not only make it quick and easy to deploy the legs but they also prevent joint damage by blocking out dirt, dust, and moisture. The tripod also comes with three Gitzo "Big-Foot" All Terrain Shoes that will further increase the appeal of this tripod to travel and wildlife photographers who need their tripods to perform while out on location.

The Tripod Head

This tripod head offers an incredible weight to payload ratio, weighing in at just 1kg yet holding up to 30kg of gear. Premium materials, including high-tolerance steel and aluminium components and the large super-smooth coated hollow-sphere ball contribute to the maximum payload and stability of heavier lenses when attached, even in extreme temperatures from -30° to 70°C. There's also a fluid drag system that features an independent 360° panning lock for super-smooth fluid movement, improved panning for tracking your subjects. A short-rotation fast lock is used for getting that perfect shot when it counts. Additionally, there's a friction control for more precise, subtle adjustments and a bubble level to ensure a true horizon.
