Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers consistently commend the GT4543LS for delivering the Systematic lineup's core goals—minimal weight, high durability, and uncompromising stability—while offering a robust 28 kg load capacity and a compact travel-friendly form factor. The Carbon eXact tubing and 37 mm top leg diameter are highlighted as key contributors to its stiffness, and the G‑Lock Ultra leg locks are praised for ease of use. The only notable criticisms are its marginally higher weight compared to Series 3 models and the absence of a centre column, which can restrict certain compositional needs.
What Users Say
Consumer feedback is limited in the sources, but the tripod’s inclusion in professional kits and lack of reported complaints suggest a generally positive reception among everyday users, who appreciate its portability and stability for field work.
Common Complaints
Weight is higher than Series 3 models, making it less ultra‑light; the lack of a centre column limits height‑adjustment flexibility for certain compositions.
What People Are Saying
“the ultimate goals of the Systematic lineup—minimal weight, durability, and uncompromising stability," and it "provides a balance of size and sturdiness with a larger top casting than the Series 3.”
