Superior stability for heavy equipment

The Gitzo GT5563GS Systematic Series 5 Giant is a 6-section carbon fibre camera tripod built for professional photographers and videographers who need unwavering support. It handles cameras up to 92.6 lbs with a wide 1.63" leg diameter, delivering rigidity for heavy lenses and demanding shoots. Weighing 7.85 lbs, it remains portable for on-location work.

Modular top casting expands configuration options

The innovative open and close mechanism on the top casting accepts Systematic accessories such as a flat disk, geared or sliding centre column, video half-ball adaptor and a leveling base. These additions change the tripod from a fixed platform into a versatile system for both stills and video, allowing rapid reconfiguration without tools.

Check payload and height needs before ordering

Verify that your camera and heaviest lens combination stays within the 42 kg payload limit. Ensure your shooting scenarios benefit from the 278 cm maximum height and 10 cm minimum height, and that the 73 cm folded length fits your transport method. This tripod is not suited for buyers who need a lighter travel model or a lower maximum load capacity.

Questions about this item

How often should the six-section twist-lock legs be cleaned or re-lubricated to keep them operating smoothly?

Wipe the carbon-fibre tubes after each use and avoid lubricants; Gitzo twist locks are designed to run dry, so grit removal is the only routine maintenance required.

What stops the tripod from going higher than 278 cm when the centre column is fully extended?

The six leg sections reach their mechanical limit at 278 cm; the Systematic top casting accepts optional columns but the leg tubes themselves cannot extend further.

Does the 3.56 kg carbon-fibre frame stay cool enough for comfortable shoulder carry after hours in direct sun?

Carbon fibre conducts less heat than aluminium, so the legs remain near ambient temperature even after all-day outdoor use, making shoulder carry comfortable.
