I have the Gitzo GT5541LS for the 500L4 lens. It is a very stable platform.


The GT2541EX has a flexible column with a mount that allows it pivot at different angles away from the tripod, it that appears to allow you to get your camera in very low and diffrent angles.


From what I have read the GT2541EX will probably meet my needs very well. What I probably am really trying to find out is if there is an arm/column that could mount on the GT5541LS and do the same. Even though the GT5541LS with this type of set up would be alot heavier, it would mean if I were going back country I wouldn't have to decide between two specialty tripods.


Any one know of an arm/column that is flexible like this.
