Professional Carbon Fibre Tripod

The Gitzo GT5533S Systematic Series 5 is a three-section carbon fibre camera tripod built for professionals who work with heavy cameras and long lenses. Its Carbon eXact tubes and 85 mm upper disc deliver exceptional rigidity for sharp, blur-free images in demanding conditions. The modular top casting accepts flat disks, geared or sliding centre columns, video half-ball adaptors, levelling bases and other Systematic accessories for versatile configurations.

Payload Capacity and Height Range

A safety payload of 92.6 lbs confidently supports professional camera bodies with large telephoto lenses, while the structure runs out of capacity only with extreme specialist rigs beyond that limit. The legs extend to a maximum height of 52.76 inches and collapse to a minimum of 3.94 inches, covering low-angle macro work through to standing eye-level compositions. The thicker final leg section adds further stability at full extension.

Weight, Transport and Stability Features

Weighing 5.8 lbs and folding to 24.41 inches, the tripod remains manageable for on-location transport without sacrificing rigidity. New ultra-stable feet improve ground contact on uneven terrain, and an Easy Link attachment provides a convenient point for accessories. The Carbon eXact tube construction uses High Modulus fibre in narrower sections to maximise stiffness while keeping mass low.

Questions about this item

Will the 85 mm top casting accept my existing Gitzo Systematic accessories such as a leveling base or video half-ball adaptor?

Yes, the modular top casting opens and closes so you can swap in a flat disk, geared centre column, sliding centre column, video half-ball adaptor or leveling base from the Systematic range.

How can I confirm the Carbon eXact tubes and 3.94 in minimum height are delivering the claimed stability on location?

Mount your heaviest camera and lens, extend the legs to the lowest position, and check for any flex or vibration in the live view — the 92.6 lb safety payload and thicker final leg section should keep the image steady.

Does the 5.8 lb tripod ship with a head or centre column, or must I purchase those separately?

The box contains the 3-section carbon fibre legs with ultra-stable feet and an Easy Link attachment; heads, centre columns and other Systematic accessories are sold separately.
