The Systematic tripod is a Gitzo exclusive. This system allows you to customize the tripod to your particular needs. All
components from systematic series 3 to 5 tripods are interchangable.
Carbon Fiber Versions:
Gitzo carbon fiber tubes use an exclusive
process based on pull winding of long carbon
fibers which are precisely wrapped and com-
bined under high pressure and temperature
with epoxy resin to a 1.5mm wall thickness.
This manufacturing process ensures stiff, light
tubes resistant to bending, having superior
tensile and compression strength, and a high
degree of stability in extreme temperatures.
The tubes also absorb vibration and with-
stand fatigue better than those made by other
carbon fiber tube processes.
Aluminum Versions:
The aluminum version is built with 1.5mm thick
tubes of high strength lightweight aluminum
alloy to ensure absolute stability and durability.
◆ Aluminum tripods have wing nuts on the top
leg section for ease of operation.
◆ Aluminum versions incorporate the universal
foot system with rubber feet and optional
stainless steel spikes and other accessories.
All Systematic tripods are supplied with a flat plate. The
optional camera attachments can be fitted by simply
unlocking the bolt in the top casting, lifting out the flat
plate and dropping in the alternative adapter or column.
◆ Systematic tripods are constructed using a
“screw thread and glue” dual jointing
technology pioneered by Gitzo called
“H.I.S.”. This provides greater strength
and stability on location.
◆ Telescopic leg extensions can be set without
slippage with rubber cushioned locking
rings and wing locks.
◆ “Performance” tripods are fitted with sliding
stops, which enable the legs to be
individually set at different angles, providing
more flexibility and permitting very low
angle shooting.
