PLEASE NOTE: Camera is not included

The GK5543LS-83LR is a kit composed of the Systematic GT5543LS 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 unit perfectly complements Gitzo’s Series 3, 4 and 5 Systematic tripods and is available in both lever and screw plate lock configurations.

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.

It 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 Gitzo Ball Head Series 4 offers unrivaled load capacity, ultra-smooth movement and rapid friction control – all in a sub-1kg unit designed and precision-made in Italy. Supplied with a Gitzo D profile plate, the Ball Head Series 4 is also compatible with Arca-Swiss style plates from other brands.

The Gitzo GT5543LS Series 5 Systematic Long is a powerful, 4-section, professional carbon fiber tripod designed support long lenses and heavy cameras. Series 5 models are Gitzo’s most rigid tripod and like the rest of the Systematic family, they set the standard in terms of strength, stability and modularity.
