Product Description Gitzo revisited the classic G1376M in a completely revisited version. Its look and the design of the high quality magnesium out shell are unchanged, but the internal components and mechanisms have been completely re engineered.
The weight has been reduced by 15-17% and new Gitzo technologies have been introduced.
As one of the new range of Gitzo Off Center ball heads, thanks to its unique design, it allows unsurpassed positioning freedom by offering a range of movement impossible with conventional heads.

| Customer Reviews: Best Tripod Ever June 17, 2010 Nasser Ali Al Khakifi (Al Ain, UAE) As simple as that, the best brand for tripods. This product with high end Carbon fiber. Really works very well with my Nikon D700 and Bh-55 ballhead. I am 172 cm height and it still have a it extra height for far subjects.
A Pleasure to use June 3, 2009 Kenny (Wichita, Kansas) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I don't have a lot of experience with various tripods, so I can't compare this to others except my old aluminum one from the 1950's. When purchasing a tripod, you have to first decide on what your needs are and then decide which one best meets your needs and budget.
The Good: The legs are very light. Its four-section design makes it very compact. I am about five-foot eight, so using the tripod with only three sections extended works well for me, avoiding any four-section instability which may or may not exist. But the added height is available if I ever need it. The controls are very easy to use and operate smoothly, like a fine camera. The top is strong. I bought this tripod, which is overkill for my photographic needs, because I might want to use it for an alt-azimuth telescope mount some day in the future.
The Bad: While the legs are light, the top is rather heavy. I was willing to put up with this because I have other uses for it, but this series of tripod is probably overkill for even the most serious of amateur photographers. An extra half-pound or more can become quite heavy to lug around in the field. Don't buy an extra ounce that you don't really need.
The Ugly: The price.
The lightest, most compact Gitzo tripod in the 3 Series June 3, 2009 Heron Watching (Oregon) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I needed a tripod that would give steady support for my pro body + 500mm + Wimberley head -- and still be lightweight and compact enough to fit in a 25" suitcase. The Gitzo 3541LS fit the bill (Closed length = 21.7", weight 3.7 lb). The max extended height is 57.5". If you are over 58" tall it may give you a backache, especially if you're doing a lot of bird flight photography. The 3541XLS extends to 78" max, but only collapses to 27.6" and weighs 4.0 lb. Won't fit a 25" suitcase, but if you're tall, go for the XLS. These are very expensive tripods, but for the serious photographer, they're worth every penny.
Very light and sturdy... Amazing tripod March 16, 2009 A. SALHA (Paris, France) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have used it a couple of times and I love it. IMO, you need to buy with it the Gitzo GS3511S Series 3 Carbon 6x Rapid Column For Systematic Tripods - Replaces GS3510S (Black) to be able to easily adjust the height of your camera. The main reason why I bought this tripod is that it can be adjustable to few centimeters above the ground and take amazing pictures.
I LOVE MY GT3541LS!
