The gitzo GT3320BS Series 3 Aluminum Tripod, part of their
interchangeable-crown "Systematic" series, is their low-operating-height
specialist. It was an unofficial gitzo offering for years, now finally
distributed properly to the masses. With 32mm maximum diameter tubing, it
affords rock-solid ground-level support to any SLR camera with nearly any lens
smaller than a 400mm f/2.8. Fit and finish are what you should expect from the
industry's top brand; the exacting nature of the movements is a delight.
