The Gitzo GT3540XLS offers outstanding torsional rigidity and, thanks to the new Carbon 6X ALR tube, is surprisingly lightweight and fast to operate. This extra tall overhead model is ideal for weddings, concerts, sporting events and architectural photography.

Gitzo Systematic tripods offer unsurpassed flexibility. This modular system can be quickly transformed between different configurations depending on the specific needs of a shoot. You can add a range of interchangeable center columns for normal use, heavy cameras or video work. The new generation of Systematic tripods features Gitzo Carbon 6X tubing, Anti Leg Rotation system and the new G-Lock locking system. Thanks to these innovations Gitzo tripods are now lighter, faster to operate and sturdier than ever.

Gitzo GT3540XLS Systematic Series 3 Tripod Key Features

Systematic tripods have a unique ultra wide top platform that can be removed and replaced with other accessories

4-Section Tripod With 78-inch Maximum Height

Removeable Top Platform

Systematic tripods have a unique ultra wide top platform that guarantees an incredibly stable base for any professional high performance equipment. This platform can be removed and replaced with other accessories, making this a fully customizable system. A Systematic tripod can quickly be transformed into a professional video support by means of 100mm and 75mm half ball adapters.

G-Lock

G-Lock is the new Gitzo leg locking system. The locking mechanism has been completely redesigned in order to achieve a 20% increase in rigidity, faster operation and stronger, safer locking. Unwanted play between lock parts has been eliminated so leg sections lock together as one to give the tripod a rock solid structure. G-Lock's special design also provides a 'gravity lock' effect: the higher the load applied vertically to the leg, the stronger the lock.

Carbon Tube 6X Multilayer Technology

The GT3540XLS is exceptionally rigid and resistant to torsion, but, thanks to the new Carbon 6X ALR tube, surprisingly light and fast to operate. Gitzo 6X is a high density tube made of top quality ultra thin (7µm) carbon fibers (a 28mm tube contains 1,500,000 carbon fibers). The fibers are combined in a unique structure of 6 crossed layers that minimizes weight yet maximizes rigidity, vibration absorption and performance. In order to optimize the weight-to-strength ratio, Gitzo varies the wall thickness of 6X tube according to tripod series: tubes for series 3 tripods are 1.3mm thick.

ALR (Anti Leg Rotation)

Gitzo's new Anti Leg Rotation system means the tripod can be opened in less than 15 seconds. Simply loosen all the twist locks on each leg at the same time, then pull the leg down and tighten the locks individually.

Removable Rubber Feet

The Gitzo GT3540XLS tripod is provided with removable rubber feet. This feature allows you to easily change worn out rubber feet or to fit other accessories, such as spiked feet or snow/sand shoes.
