Gitzo (and Manfrotto, I think) makes an adapter that can be used to join 2
bellows units together. It is a metal plate about 20 cm long, with screws
near the ends that attach to the tripod mounting blocks of the bellows
units. You need extension tubes to bridge the gap between the bellows. I
have all the bits and pieces, but have not found time to take any
photographs yet. The combination is very heavy and unwieldy.
