Gitzo Geared Center Column for Series 5 Systematic Tripods, 18.5" Height

Adding a Systematic column on a Gitzo Systematic tripod is useful when you require additional height and height adjustment. This aluminum geared center column is compatible with Series 5 Systematic tripods. The gear mechanism means heavy loads can be raised or lowered precisely and safely and is locked and unlocked via a simple twist mechanism. 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. GS5313GS replaces the GS5311GS and features the latest components including the solid disc on the top and bottom of the column.
