5.0 out of 5 stars Thumbs Way Up, November 22, 2008

By	Eric C. Dresser "Eric Dresser" (Tug Hill Plateau, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Light and Good, May 29, 2009

By	Sneeferson - See all my reviews

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but consider a different model, February 7, 2009

By	Mediahound (SF Bay Area, CA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This is a great tripod but if you are considering this mode, you should look at the GT3541XLS model instead because it is about the same folded length and weight, but gives you the option of extending a 4th leg section for a higher height! You can use it as a 3 section tripod and it goes to 59" and then when you extend the 4th section, it goes all the way up to 78"! This is why I prefer the 3541xls over the 3530LS; same form factor, better functionality.
