Gitzo Systematic Tripod Kit with Series 4 Lever Ball Head

This is the long-lens configuration Gitzo sells complete: Systematic legs with no centre column, topped by the GH4383LR centre ball head with a lever release, so a body can be swapped without unscrewing a knob while a 400 mm lens is still balanced on the plate.

The Series 4 GK4543LS-83LR weighs 3.28 kg together, reaches 170.5 cm, drops to 22.5 cm and carries a rated 28 kg. Because the legs are Systematic, the head can come off and a geared column, rapid column, levelling base or video bowl adapter can go on the same 70 mm casting later. Series 3 and Series 5 leg variants are the same kit on smaller and larger legs.
