Gitzo question (1 Viewer)

[dw87]

Good evening all,

I've just purchased this used Gitzo and have two questions I would like assistance with please:
1) Is it possible to tell the model number (it has worn off but appears to end 29/39/89)
2) Is it possible to buy a mounting plate (unsure if this is the correct term) to do away with the centre column? The height is plenty tall enough without this, so hoping aI can switch it out and save some weight.
Gitzo seem to sell these separately as an accessory (£150!) so any third party alternative options welcome.

Thanks in advance!

THIS?

Without knowing if it is a series 2, 3, 5, etc., you might have to try and see if it works or measure the inside diameter of the opening.

Many thanks - sadly that is just as expensive as the Gitzo version in the UK (£150).
How can I figure out which series it is? Tripod has 2 leg closures, and extends to approximately 1.9m without centre column, and is about 0.75m when fully retracted. Smallest diameter of lower leg is about 5cm.
Thanks again.

A bit of digging suggests it is a G1329 - what is the correct size top plate for this please?

It is a series 3. The second number of the older Gitzo’s is indicative of series.
