As a professional nature photographer; what can I say. Gitzo tripods are simply the best! I had used an aluminum Gitzo 1340 for about 30 years and thought it was the perfect fit for me. Then I broke down and purchased the new Gitzo GT3530LS Carbon Fiber. Used with a Nikon D3 with a 500mm f/4 lens and a 1.4x converter; it is all the tripod I need. They are truly more rigid than aluminum. The new anti-twist legs are time saving and far less aggravating. Although expensive, I would and will highly recommend this item to those who ask.

I am shooting with a Nikon D3 and some large glass.
This combined with a Markins M-20 and some Markins plates, and your set for anything, anywhere, anytime.

No center column, totally rigid design.

Light as a feather, don't forget to get some lenscover coverings for your legs to keep the carbon fiber from getting fingerprints and/or scratched.

I am 6 foot, with my ball head and the D3, and the 3530LS fully extended, it is WELL over my eye level.

The GT3530LS is everything I had hoped it would be and more.
I had read some critical reviews regarding the possibility that the top plate could fall off the tripod. While I am sure this is a possibility, I don't believe the risk is creditable given that I exercise very reasonable care.
