The C profile Series 1-5 Aluminum Extra Long Quick Release Plate from Gitzo is specifically designed for wildlife, sports and action photography. It allows you to finely balance your equipment on the support for a more precise shooting position. It is an ideal complement to the Systematic Head GH5380SQR, the Series 3 Centre Ball Head GH3780QR and other Gitzo equipment compatible with C profile QR plates. The plate includes 2 screws for both 1/4" and 3/8" sizes. In this collection, Gitzo unified some 1/4" and 3/8" attachment plates into a single code including 2 screws for both 1/4" and 3/8" sizes. Having two screws available for each attachment size is recommended for long plates, when heavy equipment or long lenses are used. As a general rule, it is preferable to always use the biggest possible attachment. Even when the smaller screw needs to be used, it always guarantees a high safety standard. All Gitzo bolts and screws are made of steel.

Q: 9. Hello. Give advice. With a height of 183cm, which tripod is better? Gitzo GT5543LS or Gitzo GT5543XLS? Thank you.

A: I chose the LS rather than the XLS for less weight, and the fact that I am short. However, if you can deal with the few more ounces (and cost), the pros are recommending that you go with the XLS to give you that extra length when you need it (like on a slope, and you need one or two of the legs longer that the other(s). I hope that helps. So far I am well pleased with the Gitzo. Worth the extra cost.
