Apart from the higher weights of the 3532LS and 3542LS, what are the other differences or improvements? Thanks for the inputs!

A little disappointed that Gitzo hasn't posted the Max Load rating for the new 3532LS & 3542LS yet...but, we all know it's at least the same as the previous models.  Okay thought so. Was just a little confused as to why the OP might want to compare two versions back of the 3 section 3-series Systematic and only 1 version back of the 4-section. [Gear List | Flickr

Feb 29, 2012 17:35 | #7 ben, there is no 3531LS in the Gitzo website. As a matter of progression, there should have been one but perhaps it has been phased out for some reason. I managed to download a catalogue for the systematic series and it says the max load for the 3532LS and 3542LS is 25kg.

Guys, just a side question on the Gitzo nomenclature. What does the second digit represent? For instance:

Feb 29, 2012 20:27 | #12 I have pretty much narrowed down my choice to the 3542LS. Is there any real difference in the torsional stiffness and rigidity compared to the 3532LS? Any real world experience on this? Thanks
