  1. All features
    Quality

    I did extensive research on similar products and when I saw a' SIRUI' demo video in YouTube, I felt it the right brand. I was fed up of the cheap quality Chinese tripods which break away so easily in the past. I was looking for one which a pro can have a hassle free use. It is a wonderful product which delighted me in features as well as manufacturing quality. Well done designer. This is the benchmark for all tripod manufacturers.
  2. Value for money and very sturdy.

    Very nice product.
  3. Weight not accurate. Otherwise seems well built.
    Quality

    I am quite disappointed in the weight of this tripod. It felt a bit heavier than I expected when I took the box out of the outer box it was shipped in. I then looked on the label of the Sirui box and noticed that the weights shown there are not what is described in this article or on other web sites. I attached a photo of the label.The label says the legs (including center column) weigh 1 kg (2.2 lbs). On my kitchen scale they weigh 1,074 grams (2.4 lbs). I guess that 1,074 rounds down to about 1 kg, but while 1 kg is about 2.2 lbs the legs certainly weigh more than 2.2 lbs. I assume this is down to somebody converting the 1 kg to lbs and adding a decimal of precision that made it inaccurate in imperial units.The head shows a weight of 0.3 kg (0.6 lbs) on the label. On my kitchen scale it shows as 290 grams (0.64 lbs) so we actually get a little back there.So the total weight is about 1,364 grams (3.0 lbs). This is quite a bit higher than the 2.2 lbs listed in the description.The description states "The A1205 Carbon Fiber Tripod with Y-11 Ball Head from Sirui is a 5-section tripod that weighs 2.2 lb." That is completely inaccurate.Unfortunately for me I was interested in a light weigh tripod for hiking and I was excited by this one being listed as only 2.2 lbs.Other than the weight the tripod appears to be well made and nicely configured. You can separate one of the legs to make a monopod. You cannot eliminate the center column and just mount the head on the legs (that would have been a nice feature to eliminate the weight of the aluminum center column).
  4. The only tripod I'll ever need
    Quality

    High, low, macro, portrait, landscape, inverted, stargazing, overhead, tilt, panoramic, uneven surfaces, hiking, traveling, events, monopod only, heavy set up, whatever your need is, this tripod fits the description.It's heavier than any carbon fiber tripod that I've ever handled has been but incredibly durable. Metal swivel joints and lock downs make me confident that I can sit my expensive photography equipment on it. Very versatile for any event or environment. Not a fan of a joints for the legs but that's just personal preference. Sure, it costs a bit more than your average tripod, but you spend lots of money on your camera. Wouldn't you want something you can trust to hold it?Very worth it and I would say I'd but it again, but I don't think ill ever have to.
