Forging provides greater strength and reduced weight Instead of using traditional casting technology that is typical of tripod construction, Sirui is a pioneer who adopted the forging technique in manufacturing. During the forging process, the deformation and cooling of metal causes the structure of the metal to be stronger and compact – greatly increasing its strength-to-weight ratio. This allows Sirui to build products with exceptional strength and durability, that are surprisingly light. The added strength of forging allows thinner, lighter components. Temperature Tolerance Test We torture-test all of our products – under conditions that far exceed what most people will ever experience (-40° ~ 100°C/-40° ~ 212°F). SIRUI is the first Chinese manufacturer to continuously perform the 4-hour test on all tripod, monopod and ball head models. Certified Longevity Tests For Quality & Reliability Sirui TX-Series Professional Tripods come with Sirui’s 6 year warranty!

I probably shouldn't be writing this yet as I've made a big move across country since buying it so haven't really field tested all that good, but.. so far, it's weight and height and folded length seem to be hard to beat for the price. Inverted legs makes the folded length really short, like right around 15" even with ballhead attached, depending on your head. One note about weight, it weighs just shy of 3lbs, 5oz., so heavier than Siruis claim of 3.1 lbs or 1.4 kg. So, should be more like 3.3 lbs. Not much but they should be more accurate for folks looking critically at the weight of their tripods. Everything has worked well, legs easily extended, retracted.. Feels solid, like it will last. One concern has been the center column lock twist. It's just a very short throw from loose to tight and you can see the plastic...?? tighteners at the top. I really need to get out with my Nikon D750 and Sigma 150-600 on it to see how it holds up at/to that point. It should do just fine based on it's weight support spec. but, you never know. My only concern with the strength of this thing is the center column lock as mentioned before. Got the wonderful Manfrotto MHXPRO-BHQ2 XPRO Ball Head on it so no concerns there. If I experience any issues down the road I'll get back to you. Pic is with D750, batt. grip, and Nikon 24-85mm. Update 5/15/2018 - I'm upgrading review to 5 stars. Tripod is really holding up well, feeling like new to this day. Very solid, well built, no issues or concerns. Highly recommended.

This does the job for a reasonable price. The leg locks can be a bit funky and the legs a little wobbly so make sure you position them to prevent vibration shake. This folds up small for travel and holds mirrorless cameras and most lenses well with the K-10X ballhead. Wish I would have sprung for the carbon fiber version but this does a great job for a little money. Included short center column is a plus.I do wish I would stop getting E-mails asking me to write a review. I received several.

Wow, this thing exudes quality. Super clean machining, legs lock firmly, Very very quality set of tripod legs here. Paired with a sirui K20X ball head, what a beautiful combo. The combo is about 15-1/2" folded down and comes with a very nice padded carrying bag as well. It does weigh a fair amount, so I don't think I'd recommend it for hiking unless you want to lug it around. But for throwing in the car, or suitcase/carry on it's a perfect setup for travel

After using a WAY too flimsy travel tripod on a July business trip, I got this one to try on my most recent photo shoot trip and it was JUST strong enough to work for me. I didn't want to drag my huge Gitzo 5542L and have to check it under the plane, and I needed the tripod to fit in my suitcase. This tripod fit the bill. Most of the time I did not extend the last thinnest section but sometimes I had to. I shoot a 5D Mark III and two lenses, 16-35mm/4 and the heavy 70-200mm f/2.8 IS II, and this tripod held up. Naturally I had used the tripod collar on the 70-200mm and mounted the lens on the tripod. For the head I got what seems to be the best value per dollar in the sun-professional market: . I already have Arca Swiss Plates so I didn't need an adapter, usually heads under $100 have their own weird QR plate, but this one works natively, and it's definitely strong enough for the 70-200mm. I was shooting mainly indoors but also did exteriors and the tripod/head combo didn't let me down, quite surprising for the price. It's 5 star because of what it does considering the small size and lower price. You don't need a $500 travel tripod, this will work. Warning: It is HEAVY, more than you would expect for this class and price. But that's part of what makes ity sturdy.

Needed a new tripod and this one had good reviews. Weight capacity is great for my telephoto but coming from snap locking legs, I'm not a fan of the twist locks that don't always seem to be secured when I think they are.

Happy with this product, but make sure you don't screw in the top the wrong way around, if you do, it's extremely hard to untwist without damaging the screw.

Bonjour,J'ai longtemps hésité avant de choisir cette marque que je ne connaissais pas. L'avantage d'Internet est qu'on trouve son bonheur facilement (il faut en prendre et en laisser bien sûr). Mes critères de choix était longueur maxi 500 mm (top case oblige), pas trop lourd, facile à utiliser et prix 150 euros environ. J'étais parti sur le modèle MANFROTTO BEFREE mais il ne me semblait pas suffisamment solide (essayé en magasin et avis Internet). J'ai fait un comparatif de plusieurs marques et à la fin, SIRUI présentait aucun défaut signalé. Je possède un boîtier expert et un zoom donc le poids est quand même important. J'ai mis 15 jours à me décider car le prix ne rentrait pas du tout dans mon créneau. Je possède un trépied MANFROTTO très bien mais trop lourd et trop long replié. Ce trépied SIRUI me servira pour les vacances et les photos en forêt. Je peux dire pour finir que je suis très satisfait de mon choix, même la housse de transport est de qualité. De plus, il est livré avec une petite colonne pour faire de la macro (à moi les photos de fleurs et de champignons). Quant à la rotule, j'ai pris également du SIRUI K-10X, qui est à l'image du trépied. Je ne regrette pas mon achat et je pense que le prix est justifié car tout fait professionnel. Le trépied est facile à déplier ou replier et la rotule est très agréable à utiliser. A vous maintenant les nuits blanches pour choisir un bon trépied de vacances, moi c'est fait ! Comme on dit, il y a toujours mieux mais c'est plus cher.

I searched a lot before purchasing this tripod. I wanted something that is not so heavy in order to carry it for long and difficult hikes. I wanted something that is not so expensive as a carbon tripod. I wanted something that can hold firm against wind, sea waves, on rocky grounds, inside water streams and be sturdy enough to hold my Nikon D600 and the Nikon 16-35mm f/4 even at its full height without moving when I put my camera in a vertical position when I need to take shots for creating a panorama. This tripod fits the bill and I am quite happy with the purchase. I combined it with the Sirui K-10X ball head and even though it was my first time using a ball head I find it very easy to operate. The tripod comes to its own very fine protective case that has a well padded strap for those who don't carry a backpack. It has an instructions manual but I didn't need to read it as the whole construction and the use of it is quite intuitive. I love the spikes, as my previous tripod didn't have spikes to grab it steady on rocks or on muddy surfaces. The tripod feels that it can take a lot of "abuse". Yes, I recommend it.
