Smooth, easy, secure operation. Surprisingly light for a nine ft tripod. Extend just 2 sections and it is tall enough for my 6' height - no center column needed. LOVE IT!

Quality product with lots of value

Just what I wanted - high reaching tripod which is the lightest it can be.
From the professional photographer to the passionate videographer, the Gitzo GT5563GS Systematic Series 5 Giant, a 6-section carbon fiber tripod, is designed to meet the most demanding needs. This high-reaching tripod is crafted to securely support heavy cameras and longer lenses, making it an essential tool for capturing stunning visuals from great heights.
As part of Gitzo's Series 5, the GT5563GS is the epitome of rigidity, setting the bar high in terms of strength, stability, and modularity. Its top casting element features an innovative open and close mechanism, allowing for easy configuration with a variety of Systematic accessories. These include a flat disk, geared or sliding center column, video half-ball adaptor, and a leveling base, offering unparalleled versatility to photographers and videographers alike.
Despite its robust structure, the GT5563GS is surprisingly lightweight, weighing in at just 3.56kg. Yet, it boasts an impressive payload capacity of 42kg and can extend to a towering height of 278cm. This tripod also offers flexibility in shooting from low angles, capable of going as low as 10cm, and conveniently folds down to 73cm for easy transport.
Constructed with Gitzo's Carbon eXact tubes, the GT5563GS is not only sturdy but also durable. The G-Lock Ultra twist-locks solidly connect the leg sections while protecting them from dirt damage, ensuring the longevity of your tripod. The new ultra-stable, removable feet further enhance the tripod's security, providing a steady base for your equipment.
The GT5563GS also features an Easy Link attachment, enhancing its ergonomics and versatility. This allows users to attach a wide array of optional accessories, such as Manfrotto arms, LED lighting solutions, and monitors, to customize their shooting setup.
With a top leg diameter of 41.3mm and a top casting larger than Series 3 and 4 Systematics, the GT5563GS guarantees unmatched sturdiness and stability. This iconic tripod is the preferred choice of professionals who require a reliable solution to elevate their heavier equipment and longer lenses to incredible heights. The GT5563GS is the upgraded successor to the GT5562GTS, continuing the legacy of delivering high-quality, professional-grade tripods.
