Gitzo GK5543LS-83LR Series 5 Carbon 4-Section Systematic Kit with Ball Head Series 4

Systematic is Gitzo’s top range of tripods, perfect for professional photographers using long lenses and heavy equipment. Systematic tripods are the strongest and most stable tripods, they are also modular and can be rapidly set up in different configurations both as photography or videography supports. Made with 100% Carbon fibre eXact tubes and innovative design they represent all of Gitzo’s high quality and performance.

The GK5543LS-83LR kit comprises the GT5543LS Systematic tripod and the GH4383LR Center Ball Head Series 4.

The Gitzo Ball Head Series 4 GH4383LR is a heavy-duty tripod head ideal for large telephoto lenses, engineered to ensure the ultimate in smoothness and precision of movement. Though weighing-in at less than 1kg, it securely holds an impressive 30kg load – effortlessly handling a CSC or DSLR equipped with a 400-600mm lens. The Ball Head Series 4 has a larger super-smooth coated hollow-sphere ball ensuring confident and comfortable use with heavier equipment, even in extreme conditions and temperatures from -30° to 70°C.

The head is rich in features: a friction control for precise adjustment and a bubble level to help keep a true horizon. A 360° independent panning lock provides uncompromisingly smooth movement in a fluid cartridge and a short-rotation fast lock assists in getting the perfect shot at a moment’s notice. The lever lock secures the included Gitzo D profile plate (GS5370DR) or an Arca-Swiss type plate.

The whole ensemble is precision manufactured using the highest-quality materials – including high-tolerance steel and aluminum components. The Gitzo Ball Head Series 4 offers unrivaled load capacity, ultra-smooth movement and rapid friction control - all designed and precision-made in Italy.

The unit perfectly complements Gitzo’s Series 5 Systematic Long tripod, a strong and powerful, 4-section, professional carbon fiber tripod designed to support longer lenses and heavy cameras. The GT5543LS is a Series 5 model – these are Gitzo’s most rigid tripod series and like the rest of the Systematic family, they set the standard in terms of strength, stability and modularity.
