About Gitzo Telescopic Center Column for Series 5 Systematic Tripods, 81.9" Height

Adding a Systematic column on a Gitzo Systematic tripod is useful when you require additional height and height adjustment. Especially with this extra long telescopic carbon fiber rapid center column, the tripod can be made 2m / 79" taller, allowing truly unique perspectives. This column is compatible with Series 5 Systematic tripods. The safety catch feature, when used together with recent Systematic tripods with a safety button, prevents the column from dropping out of the tripod even if it is inadvertently left unlocked. GS5513XLS replaces the GS5511XLS, upgraded with the latest Carbon eXact tubes and G-lock Ultra, which is used to extend / lock the telescopic column just like Gitzo tripod legs.
