Q: 10. What exactly is the use case for this tripod? It has a max height of only 51.2", with a folded length of 24". Gitzo makes two other Systematic Series-3 tripods with virtually the same weight, but much more useful max heights of 57.5" and 60". So who is the targeted user for the GT5533S?

A: The Gitzo GT5533S Systematic Series 5 Carbon Fiber Tripod (Standard) is one of Gitzo's heaviest-duty tripods and is designed to be used with large, heavy telephoto lenses and heavy duty cameras such as medium format or large format view cameras. The 52.8" (134 cm) maximum working height of the Gitzo GT5533S Systematic Series 5 Carbon Fiber Tripod (Standard) is when using the tripod by itself (without a head or a center column). If you purchase a head, the height of the head would add a few inches to the tripod. You may purchase a center column to increase the tripod's maximum height based on your shooting needs. If you purchase the Gitzo GS5313LGS Geared Center Column for Series 5 Systematic Tripods, B&H # GIGS5313LGS, the maximum height of the center column would be an additional 36.2" (92 cm). When using the Gitzo GS5513XLS Telescopic Center Column for Series 5 Systematic Tripods, B&H # GIGS5513XLS, the maximum height of the column would be an additional 81.9" (208 cm). With the Gitzo GS5513S Rapid Center Column for Series 5 Systematic Tripods, B&H # GIGS5513S, the maximum height of the column would add an additional 19.3" (49 cm).
