Questions & Answers

Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?SUSUMU N : For making precise adjustment when shooting; I am not planning to extend this all the way to the top to minimize instability.Byron B : for the series 3 tripod I got last week...SCOTT B : seems like the best optionANTON H : First of all, the Gitzo Systematic tripod is absolutely the best I have ever used. I have been using it mostly for photography, but have started shooting video with it, as well, and needed a little extra height. This column looks like it will do the trick and I love the quick change feature so I can quickly change from a ball head to a video head or gimbal. It's just great stuff.FRED B : I need to do some studio work and am looking forward to using the column for small vertical adjustments without having to adjust each tripod leg.

Rapid Center Column

By Anton H.

Like most Gitzo products, this column is outstanding and a joy to use.

Where precision and adaptability meet, the Rapid Center Column for Series 3 and 4 Systematic Tripods stands out as an essential accessory for photographers seeking additional height and fine-tuned height adjustment. Crafted from carbon fiber, this robust rapid center column is not only durable but also lightweight, ensuring that it can endure the rigors of frequent use without adding undue weight to your gear.

Compatible with both Series 3 and carbon Series 4 Systematic tripods, this column integrates seamlessly with your existing equipment, providing a sturdy and reliable extension. The innovative "rapid" design allows the column to glide smoothly and swiftly within the tripod's shoulder, facilitating quick adjustments on the go. The intuitive twist-lock mechanism ensures a secure and stable lock, maintaining the column's position even under the stress of heavy loads.

The column's safety catch is a standout feature, offering peace of mind to photographers. When used in conjunction with the latest Systematic tripods equipped with a safety button, it prevents the column from accidentally slipping out, even if it's not properly locked. This safeguard is invaluable in protecting your valuable camera equipment from potential falls.

The GS3513S, which supersedes the GS3512S model, incorporates the most recent advancements, including a solid upper disc and a convenient hook. This hook can be used to add additional weight for extra stability when shooting in challenging conditions. The column's 17.7" height ensures that you have ample extension for capturing those hard-to-reach shots without compromising on stability or quality.

In summary, the Rapid Center Column for Series 3 and 4 Systematic Tripods is a testament to Gitzo's commitment to high-quality, versatile, and adjustable photography accessories. It's an outstanding choice for professionals and enthusiasts alike who demand durability and versatility in their photographic endeavors.
