Adding a Systematic column on a Gitzo Systematic tripod is useful when you require additional height as well as quick adjustment of the height.
Especially with this extra long telescopic carbon fibre rapid centre 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 teloscopic column just like Gitzo tripod legs.
