Gitzo Systematic Telescopic Column, XL, Carbon Fibre, Series 5

The Gitzo GS5513XLS Systematic Telescopic Centre Column is a tripod accessory for professional photographers who require the ultimate XL elevation. This extra long telescopic carbon fibre rapid centre column makes tripods 2m taller, enabling truly unique perspectives. It provides the highest elevation and rapid height adjustment while keeping equipment secure and adding minimal weight to the set-up.

This carbon fibre rapid centre column is compatible with Series 5 Systematic tripods. It slides into the tripod shoulder quickly and easily and twists to lock it into position. It has a safety catch that is compatible with recent Systematic tripods featuring a safety button preventing the column from dropping out of the tripod even if it is inadvertently left unlocked.

The GS5513XLS features high-quality Carbon eXact tubes and G-Lock Ultra to extend/lock the telescopic column (the same mechanism used in Gitzo tripod legs), with solid discs on top and underneath, and a lower hook to add extra weight when necessary.

The GS5513XLS replaces the GS5511XLS.
