Gitzo Systematic crank centre column GS5313LGS

You can install the column by removing the base plate of the tripod, inserting the center column, and locking the column in place. The main feature of the GS5313LGS is the gear mechanism, which allows the user to make incremental vertical adjustments using an integrated crank handle. Once the desired height is reached, the user can use the central collar equipped with a disc lock to secure the column. The column has a native height of 36.2 inches, providing a travel range of 29.5 inches from maximum to minimum height. It weighs 4.3 lb, a manageable weight that emphasizes its professional quality and durability, and includes a ground-mounted ballast hook for adding extra stabilization weight if needed.
