Pros: Stable and massive, capacity up to 40Kg!

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: If you're looking for an ultimate super telephoto tripod, this is absolutely the best! After a lot of research, and various intermediate tripods, I finally allowed myself this Gitzo 5 series, the GT 5543LS coupled with the ball head (GK5543LS-83LR), what can I say, I regret not having taken it sooner. As soon as you pick it up you immediately perceive the quality of the materials used, and the attention to detail, it is solid as a rock, the locking mechanism of the legs is superb, as well as all the finishes. I use it with all my lenses from 600MM/F4 to 11-24MM/F4, in practice you have a test bench, it doesn't crease, the tightening of the head (GH4383LR) is fluid and precise, as soon as you tighten a little, everything stays still without a minimum of oscillation (with 600MM/F4 included). The tripod legs have a very good thickness, they immediately give you that feeling of sturdiness, they don't flex, as soon as you just tighten the locking knob, they stay there as if it were a single section. In my personal opinion, I consider it one of the best tripods to safely support heavy equipment and alas above all also expensive. Certainly it is not a compact and light tripod to always carry around (head + tripod: 3.72 Kg), but if you need the maximum possible support, for your sessions with super tele, or you need maximum rigidity, then this is just for you!

Pros: Stability and weight

Cons: I haven't found any

Opinion: The GT5543 LS weighing less than three kg can easily handle a sirui bch-30 head with a celestron c9.25 for planetary observation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pros: Extremely rigid and stable

Cons: Price, weight and size

Opinion: A large tripod that is about as stiff and stable one might want. It's not the compact tripod that you carry around touring with the girl. It is not the tripod that you attach to the backpack so in doubt that maybe you can serve during a hike. With the optional center column weighs more than 3kg despite the carbon fiber construction. But in those situations where with superteleobbittivi, and/or large cameras you need the maximum stability possible this tripod allows you to get it with a weight that is half compared to an equivalent wooden tripod.
