does gitzo has a equivalent tripod that is similar to manfrotto 190cxpro4 that has a 90 deg center column?

Yes. But it is much much better. Since it can do any angle vertical and past horizontal. It is called the Gitzo Explorer.

The 3 section GT2531EX is selling at mid 700s.
The 4 section GT2541EX is slightly over 800.

Expensive yes. But yet many people still buy it. Because it is excellent. If you want to save some money, get the older aluminum or basalt fiber versions, if you can find them that is.
well if u willing to look away from Gitzo, there the Vanguard alto pro series, think they have diff sizes... its half the price of a Gitzo..
ask my fellow gitzo CF tripod owners
does it give out a smell when t is wet or you hold it too long?
mine does

recently got caught in the rain with the gitzo, didnt realize the smell thou... maybe u shld wrap the legs or get the leg warmers... if u feel uncomfortable with it....

Mine doesn't. But advisable to disassemble the legs to clean it once in a while ESP after use in sea water.

Bro the vanguard is quite prone to vibrations esp the cf version with the center column angled. Tried it in TK that day before we met up.
the more i think of it, the more displease i get with the level of service i got when i told the shop about it.
I will bring this up again, thanks
I will go and compare with other gitzo CF tripods first

There is a smaller version with lower load specs. Look at the gitzo site, the first model listed in the explorer section. But I have yet to see it in stores.
oh yah, now i remember, but if TS doesnt want the size of the Explorer and its weight, the next alternative will be the vanguard which has a few sizes for that range....
