Review Summary
2022-10-12T12:25:01
I am returning this for the second time. First one I ordered had broken legs, I never even had a chance to use it. The second one I broke within 5 months of basic use. I haven't even used it that much. The ball head quick clamp just broke off. For this type of price point, this product should be well made. The details are not worked-out.

You can't beat this bad boy. Sturdy as a truck. Only possible downside is the twist locks.

Took me a long time to decide on this GT4543LS tripod. Glad I did. Wanted something stable enough for focus stacking and to support a 500mm f4 is. Some would say the 3 series is just fine for 500mm. I think with a 5dsr 50.0 mp the extra stability will be perfect. Using less than a third of the 55lb rating. I really like the Claud hopper flat fleet for my hardwood floors. Build quality is nice, and the weight is really light. I have three different plates for accessories, Ballhead, leveling, Gimbal, I think for lighter lens like the 70-200 mkII and lighter, the GT3543LS would be my next purchase. I really like my gt4543ls. I also got luck as I got a free Gitzo bag, Next day free bag offer disappeard. Note: a RRS leveling unit does not properly fit this 3rd version. It does partially locks in but not properly if you examine the way it works. So I used a Gitzo 2,3,4, 75mm half ball in conjunction with the RRS and it all works fine. The leg locking system is top shelf to me. Changing out the plates is simple and quick and is solid. ??

Beware the twist
By PATRICK G.
You can't beat this bad boy. Sturdy as a truck. Only possible downside is the twist locks.
Systematic is the choice of exacting professional photographers who use long lenses and heavy cameras. Not only are Systematic Gitzo's strongest and most stable tripods, they're also modular, with a top casting element that opens and closes to allow each tripod to be configured with a flat disk, geared or sliding center column, video half-ball adaptor, leveling base or other Systematic accessories. The latest range features Carbon eXact tubes, new ultra-stable feet and the Easy Link attachment, making the Systematic even more stable, versatile and ergonomic.
The Easy Link attachment (3/8" thread) allows the user to attach various accessories such as a Manfrotto arm to use lighting accessories. Series 4 (top leg diameter 37.0mm) is becoming popular thanks to the rigidity from large leg diameters, while the top casting (shared with Series 3 models) is less bulky and therefore easier to store and carry. GT4543LS is the 4 section long model, a size very popular for its balance between closed length and sufficient height even without a column. It replaces the GT4542LS.
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.
Carbon exact
Revolutionary Carbon eXact tubes are even stiffer to maximize rigidity and image stability. Carbon eXact optimizes the fiber composition for each tube size, using HM (High Modulus) carbon fiber 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.
g-lock ultra
Gitzo 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.
