Has anyone ever had the center column for their Gitzo tripod crack at the top of the tube?

Nope, but knowing them a replacement part should be available and I would not hesitate to get it fixed.

If it's CF, it wouldn't be all that unusual.
I've seen another makers legs split where they install to the hinge point.

It happened on mine when the tripod tipped over and the head hit a rock (without the camera on it). You can invert the tube - the threads on the bottom are the same.

I didn't know this. Thanks!
