Gitzo Tripod for use with a 100mm head

[ChristianMoriarty]

I'm needing a light weight CF Gitzo or equivalent set of sticks that would accept my 100mm FSB10.
Research shows series 5 but not understanding the 100mm bowl accessory and how it attaches.
Looking for recommendations.

I have used the 100mm now using the Gitzo 75mm bowl adapter on a pair of Mountaineer legs.

The base of the bowl is the same diameter as the plate that exists on the Gitzo tripod legs. You just unscrew the compression
fitting pull the plate and replace it with the bowl.

Very light weight ... was out this morning shooting with my FSB8 / Gitzo and camera ... very easy to pick up and move to different spots just
resting the head on my shoulder with the camera attached. Love how quickly you can level the head when the tripod is not completely level on
a hillside ... 1/10 the time it would take to mess with the three legs. I usually try to get it close so that the whole thing is stable but finish the
level with the FSB head adapter.

Mine ... now the 75 has been mounted in the Gitzo tripod for a number of years ... no sign of loosening.
