Hi am after a good tripod to fit camera plus gimble head and 600 f4 lens? would a four section be better than three.
 
The fewer the number of sections the better.
A larger number of sections will make the tripod shorter when folded but there are more joints that can flex and the lower sections are thinner so more prone to flex and ringing.

Mind made up on a Gitzo but which one from these two ,will be used for wildlife.
5532ls or 5542ls ?
 
To echo other comments you cannot go wrong with a Gitzo. Mine is the carbon fibre 3541LS. It's light and I have the long legged version (LS) which is a boon if you are tall and/or have a bad back. From memory the 5 series was heavier so I wanted something lighter if I was lugging it about.

Worth checking supplier stocks for ex-demo units and nearly new for a decent saving on new price.
