I just bought a Gitzo Systematic Series 5 for my Master Technika, it replaced my Mountaineer series 1. When I went to put my Bogen 410 head on it the tilt knob impacted the large mounting plate on the tripod and would not allow me to tilt up past 5-degrees or so. It's not just an issue with the Series 5, but with all of the Systematic line.
The only option is to buy a riser or a leveling base to put between the tripod and head, or buy a new head (I bought a new head)
