Around 1.2kg for a nearly full height (around 150cm + this 130cm) and a head that will take up to 13kg folded down into an ultra light weight carrier bag secured by a thick cord and this certainly looks like a good package. Of course, there are others around and cheaper, but cheaper will mean compromises in height and or construction and or finish. This is a good compromise, albeit at a three figure price point, and the aluminium is roughly half the price of the carbon fibre.Although weight, personally, isn't a great issue - I need a tripod I can fit in the luggage of my motorcycle and this certainly does - I wouldn't want to be lugging around unnecessary kilogram's. I also do not want to compromise on rigidity.At 34 cm when collapsed it certainly fits size wise as well as weight.This comes with a six-year warranty, is Chinese made and claims to be for professionals on the box. What this means is that it is made to take high usage and possibly a little rough and tumble without having to be thought about. It should just perform, though only time will tell the truth of that, the start is promising.Going from the outside in, the box contains 2 allen keys (hex keys), and instruction books/warranty registration, a case and the tripod. The carry case is a (very) light weight bag, branded and secured with a sizeable piece of cord. This produces the first "Meh" moment being secured to the bag with a plastic D ring and swivel. Now I appreciate that this is a light weight piece of kit but if you are trying to create the impression of professional solidity then nothing speaks like metal. A small carabineer and a metal O ring would do the job a lot better. It is a small, OK, very small, item but you do not want this failing because it has got snagged half way up Everest. Also is doesn’t speak to the overall integrity that the use of the word professional generates. Especially when you go the lengths of using 8mm cord to carry/secure the bag with.Minor incongruity aside, the compactness of the unit is spoken to by the small circumference of the opening, emphasised by the thickness of the cord. The unit slips out of the case with no drama and at first sight it looks promising. Black anodised aluminium, the tripod legs are folded counter to the central column, ball head to the side so as to produce those very compact overall dimensions. The look and feel is pretty good.Second "Meh" moment. Only two of the three legs have a cold weather foam grip. Again small, but annoying cost cutting, as I can see no mechanical reason for it to be so.13 separate adjustment points, 12 on the legs and one on the central column mean you have a lot of adjustments to make, however that is the price of the compactness of the unit.The ball mount gives 360 degree pan and 90 degree vertical adjustment and secures with a half turn on the locking screws. The camera is securely held, my usual camera/lense configuration weighing 1.195 kg, so well within the capability of the ball head unit.Third "Meh" is the lack of a D ring on the mount for securing the base plate to the camera. The base plate being very small, mounting without one is fiddly for those of us with sausage fingers or otherwise full hands.The base of the central column has an O ring secured to a carabineer for keeping the bag on windless days with some weight in it on windy ones. Fourth "Meh" the O ring and screw could have been more sturdy looking. Again time will determine their suitability for purpose.In use, the tripod is stable and apart from unscrewing the central column too far once, more out of curiosity than mistake, there were no issues. The securing grips undo at a little over a half turn and appear to be water resistant at the very least. As ever with tripods, it is best to extend legs from the column end first as these are the thickest and most sturdy (at least in appearance).Put the three legs together and hold them there you also get a serviceable mono pod as a bonus. A piece of velcro or similar around them would make this more practicable. Works pn one or two legs too but more sturdy with three.The overall impression of this is a quality piece of kit backed by a six-year warranty with four minor points that would be easily forgivable in a £80 tripod, but detract from a £109 and change one. When you price in three figures and label your kit "Professional" then these sort of cost cuttings simply should not be and cost this one star in my opinion.

Got this to review from Vine and I have to say that this is a great bit of kit - for the right kind of camera or conditions.Firstly I believe that this is a Chinese company - not that there is anything wrong with this because as long as the QA and QC is good then it matters little where a product is made today. Where the difference is that compared to a well known European brand (who also get most of their kit made in China) the price is half for the same quality. In other words forget the name and concentrate on the reality.And this is a really well made tripod that is lightweight and compact. In fact it's close to a thing of mechanical beauty - which I appreciate being an engineer.However,bear in mind that this is not designed for a DSLR with an epic lens or for use in high winds. It is lightweight by design and you have to accept this reality. I used it with my DSLR one evening with a wide angle lens in still conditions aiming for some long exposure shots. Worked a treat. I did the same a few days later in a bit of a stiff breeze at Wells-Next-The Sea and there was some movement. My wife had a go with a Sony NEX which is considerably lighter and it was fine - with the camera bag suspended from the hook on the bottom of the connecting piece.So one has to understand what this is. A very well made tripod that is light and easy to carry. I do have a more 'pro' tripod but the fact is that it is heavy and I really have to be feeling in the mood to hump it up a mountain. This tripod will easily fit in my daybag and not have me bent over like a Sherpa tackling the last stretch up K2.I found the ball head easy to use, and firm in hold. No issues there. Legs are secured by twisting a knurled knob which is plenty secure as long as you make sure it's tight. It is to be fair less speedy than the clip type but once you get used to it there is little to worry about.If you are a pro or very enthusiastic photographer then this is not going to be the tripod for you by itself. It is a useful addition to a heavier one for use when you simply don't want to carry around a weighty lump of a thing or you are using a compact system camera. For the majority who are in the section marked 'moderately enthusiastic' then this is an idea bit of kit for general purpose use.Since getting this to be honest I've picked it up far more than it's heavier brethren simply because it's so neat and of course does not use up my luggage allowance when flying.

SIRUI T-005X Ultralight Travel Tripod with C-10S Ball Head - BlackI've had a Hama Star 61 for over a decade, having bought it for £19.99. It's a good, solid workhorse that has worked well and done a great job, including when I've occasionally lugged it round in its carry case. This Sirui tripod is a sleeker piece of kit that folds up really small into a tiny carry case. Next to the Sirui, the Hama tripod looks somewhat chunky and plasticky-looking Hama, and the Sirui looks more professional and expensive. It has the feeling of a beautifully-made piece of equipment, and sleek good looks.However, both tripods do essentially the same job and I found the Hama tripod to be easier to set up and manoevre.The Hama tripod is also lighter, according to my kitchen scales. Also, the Hama tripod extends up to a height where I can stand up straight to look through the camera, whereas I can't extend the Sirui tripod up high enough so I have to stoop over - and I'm not tall. Overall, although the Sirui looks the part, in terms of functionality I prefer my Hama tripod.=== THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT ===* Folds up really small, because the legs are made of 4 collapsible parts and inverting to enable the tripod to fold up especially small* Smart black styling that looks and feels really professional* Comes with a 6 year manufacturer's guarantee against defects in manufacturing and workmanship* Comes with single language, clear instruction leaflets for the tripod and the ball head=== NIGGLES ===* This tripod is heavier than my Hana tripod - it comes in at just over a kilo (1055g), compared to 875g for the Hama, according to my kitchen scales* The Sirui was more tricky to adjust, with various bits of tubing coming off in my hands as I tried to work out which way to unscrew* The Sirui tripod takes longer to set up because it has 4 extending tubes in each leg rather than 3 (due to the fact it folds down much smaller) - ie 12 pieces to adjust rather than 9* I found the Hama head to be more easy to manoevre, with a long arm that enables me to move the camera in any direction* The drawstring carry case is well-made, but doesn't feel as if it's made of high quality materialFor sale at the time of writing this review at £109.99,

I have a couple of tripods that I tend not to use anymore, because they are too bulky and heavy. Having said that, one of them was still blown over in heavy winds and resulted in quite a bit of damage to my camera and lens.This tripod looked interesting and so I thought I'd give it a try and am very glad that I did.First of all, the weight. It is incredibly light at 1kg, yet stands up the strong winds very well. It comes with a clip that can be used to hang a weight beneath it, for added stability. This was the ideal place to hang my camera bag when the weather turned rather more blustery than expected.The plate screws onto the bottom of the camera and comes with an allen key to ensure it is tight enough.There is an additional slot in the screw of the plate, so a coin or suchlike can also be used - but you won't get it as tight as with the allen key.It is very easy to unfold the tripod from its storage configuration and the clips that are used on the leg joints are very easy to operate with one hand. The ball and socket head moves very smoothly but a spirit level might have been a nice touch, for ensuring any panoramic pictures are level. Of course there are such things that fit onto the camera's hot-shoe too.The legs can be extended and locked single-handed by rotating the collars on each section.There is a carbon-fibre version of this available but all you save is less than half a kilo, for an addition £80, so I don't see the point.Buy the aluminium version and I think you'll be very happy with it.Update - Although this can go into your hand-luggage with ease, when flying - be careful. The allen key will be removed as a 'potential weapon' (seriously?). Fortunately I had already attached the base plate to the camera, so I could survive without the key. The other good thing is that the allen key is a common size and all of the flat-pack furniture I've assembled over the years meant I had no problem replacing it.

The SIRUI T-005KX is mini/compact travel tripod, offering surprisingly good value vs quality. The aluminium construction importantly gives the diminutive form some heft, you could spend more on a carbon fibre for the best weight saving, but you could argue the little bit additional weight is almost desirable. The tripod head is all metal, including the adjustment knobs, and is the most surprising element of the package, with well dampened adjustments and a solid feel, exuding a certain air of quality. The legs have four adjustment partitions, with extending the legs a matter of a half turn of the rubber coated screw dials. Turn them down the thread too much and they will detach however.Conveniently, with medium to large hand, you can grasp the the dials on a leg and unlock them at the same time, making for a quick extension operation. A key ring is located on the bottom to attach a weight to add to stability, however this is a mini tripod. I tested a Ricoh GR, Sony A7r and Canon 6d. You can get away with a larger camera, if you are using a small prime lens, any major pro-zoom or heavy glass is out of the question. Should be fine for travel with most compact, and mirrorless compact systems. You wouldn't be out with much kit, and this anyway. By chance I also own a Caden camera bag and if fits perfectly proportioned in the mounts underneath. Time will only tell, but it does seem to be in a far different quality league, compared to my old HAMA Tavel tripod. Again, a very pleasant surprise!

This little tripod is portable (both light to carry and small when folded,) flexible, easy to set up (specially after you get used to it and can be much faster and efficient with operating it,) etc etc.It seems to have good quality and robust enough for being so light and compact. And it comes with nice small black nylon carrying/shoulder bag for it.Among other, I also like how the ballhead platform is easy to maneuver, including tilt if you would like to go for occasional vertical direction for your photos.The only thing I wish they would consider/change would be to add an optional platform that would actually be _quick_ release (pull-and-release, or snap lock system of any kind)instead of a platform where you currently need to screw for a while to release or fasten the plate that is attached to your camera.That quick release could/should be far quicker to operate, as right now it takes longer to get "quick release" plate attached to and removed from your ballhead platform, than fasten plate to your camera with a screw (2 ikea style wrenches are included in the box, which is nice though.) It takes about 10sec vs 2 sec to operate each part.Despite that miner alteration I would like to make about platform and plate system, I'm happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend it.

Excellent light tripod, folds down to only 34 cm long (including the quick release plate) by about 8 cm overall diameter. Very quick to set up, just swing a leg down and it clicks into one of three positions. Can then unscrew the four rubber covered telescopic leg locks on each leg in one twist of the hand. Then re-tighten each of the four leg locks. Do this for each leg and that's it, it's up.To collapse it, reverse the above while pressing the single catch on each leg.Quite stable if the centre column is not extended, this will give a height to the release plate of 122.5 cm with the legs on the third click (137.5 cm with the centre column extended). There is a carrabina type hook to hang a weight (camera bag?)off to help stability if required.It has an Arca Swiss type mounting head which fully opened measures 39 mm across the jaws and 34 mm fully closed.It is supplied with a quick release plate 29 mm long which works with the built in safety stop on the tripod head.The tripod is supplied with a soft (looks like waterproof) carry bag with cord carrier and drawcord closure loop. I use it with my Fujifilm X-T2 mirrorless camera and zoom lenses and am delighted with it.Not suitable though if you need a solid, heavy duty wind resistant workhorse.

This is a review of the Aluminium version.This is a fantastic tripod, light, well made, and rugged. It has a high quality ball joint the get the perfect angle, a quick release plate to save time and lots of adjustment points which are firm and stable. It is light enough, and folds up small enough, to carry around all day without getting annoying and comes with a nice carrying bag. The legs are in 4 sections each allowing for versatile placement on any surface, and the whole thing feels solid and stable. There is also a weight hanging hook to give that extra bit of stability in windy conditions. The ball head is very good quality and rated for 13kg of weight (but the tripod only for 4kg)so should hold your camera and lens (unless you use a really big telephoto one) without problems. It also has a 360 panoramic scale on it. This kit lacks a couple of features available on other products in the price range such as a removable mono-pod and built in spirit level, but it more than makes up for it in sheer quality, that is what you are paying for here. It is well worth spending the extra to get a quality product as lesser tripods will let you down, in every sense! The carbon fibre model should be even lighter than this one!

Everything about this package exudes quality. The outer box is strong and with it's minimalist design of a technical drawing of the tripod and the name, Sirui, it just ouses quality.The tripod is bagged in a showerproof carry bag. This is well stitched. It has a double cord shoulder strap, which can be unclipped at the base only. Probably for attaching to the tripod.THE BAG AND TRIPOD, END-TO-END IS 38cm LONG. WIDTH approximately 10cm. CIRCUMFERENCE 27cm approximately.The instructions, 2 hex keys, a small spring carabiner clip are housed in a small plastic bag. Again, all round quality. 2 sets of instructions, 1 for the tripod and 1 for the Ball Head.The Ball Head can rotate 360º and tilt upto 90º.The legs have 3 positioning angles that lock.2 legs have foam rubber hand grips.Total leg length is 99cm. With 5 variables allowing anything from 31cm to 99cm.The neck of the tripod is 48cm at it's maximum.The securing knobs are robust.I know I have over-used the word "Quality", but that is what ever part of this package has.If you haven't read the Amazon Product Detail, please do so. Max camera weight is apparently 4kg. Mine is less than 1kg.

I have had this for a while now and am really please with it.It is small enough to carry around with you yet sturdy enough to give decent support. I have two other, much more expensive and much more sturdy tripods, but I found that I wasn't using them as they were just too much of a fuss to take anywhere but near to home or the car. This Sirui (apparently pronounced Sue Ray) fits the bill perfectly.I have used this with a Canon EOS7d and a medium telephoto lens and it held it solidly but it is even better with my Olympus OMD EM5 MKII. The supplied ball head is surprisingly strong and flexible and the tripod gets nice and close to the ground when needed.It would be fair to say that when fullyextended this isn't as strong as a heavier tripod but the trade off for portability is well worth it as it is still a lot more stable than trying to hand hold. I have used the tripod for long exposures and macro shots and they have all been tack sharp with no sign of camera shake at all.If you are tired of lugging a heavy tripod with you but want the extra support then I couldn't recommend this enough.It even comes with a nice little carry bag.

I looked long and hard trying to choose a tripod suitable for my Olympus OMD EM5. The Sirui seemed to fit the bill.I am a carbon tripod nut but the ones I have are overkill for CSC.I decided to go for the aluminium version as it is half the price and will not be used on a regular basis.Build quality is very good, and the ballhead is excellent.Although the tripod with head only weigh 1.0 kilo, for some reason it feels heavier.Rigidity is pretty good until the centre column is fully extended, then it seemed to lose its way.For me personally it is not an issue as I will use the tripod mostly at waist height and below.Would I use this model for a DSLR? No I would not,this is built more for CSC and bridge cameras.Do I wish I had purchased the carbon version? Maybe, simply because I am sure the carbon version would recover from any vibration quicker than the aluminium version at full height.Will it do the job for CSC? More than capable provided you don't use it at full extension with a long lens attached.It certainly packs away small and it is light enough to not become a hindrance when stowed away.

for a travel tripod this is ideal. I use it with a smaller Nikon DX camera, and the ballhead is plenty strong enough to hold this with a fairly heavy Sigma lens. The tripod does seem to wobbly a little in strong winds, if the centre column is being used. However, its an easy task to remove this pole, and the included carabiner is a great addition for hanging some extra ballast below.Its surprisingly rigid for something that only weighs around 1kg, and it packs down small enough to stow easily in aircraft hand luggage. In fact i flew with it in my hand luggage just this morning!The one downside is the tripod does not have a spirit level,but thats a really minor point.Build quality is superb - the single twist lock/unlock method for altering the legs is a really simple but effective idea.The Arca swiss compatible quick release clamp is great - and works perfectly with my Peak Design Capture Pro camera plate. Meaning i dont need to keep swapping plates when moving from the carry system to the tripod.Superb value for money!

Lightweight tripods are often a compromise between the low weight and engineered rigidity. Originally these were aluminium but now benefit from solid carbon fibre construction. This unit is both light and folds extremely neatly and comes in a protective nylon bag. It positively oozes solidity and quality . There is an instruction manual and a couple of allen keys. Although light weight, there is an a clip under the centre of the tripod to hang additional weight for greater stabilisation.I successfully tested tripod this out with a Nikon D5100 with a 75-300mm lens , a Panasonic TX60 , a Panasonic HC X920 video camera and 15 x 70mm Revelation binoculars.I will be giving it a full carrying field test when we next travel abroadAlthough the link plate is small it works well and the ball head is easily adjusted / tightened by the knurled nut on the side. The unit does not have a monopod function but this hardly detracts from the unit.So , small , lightweight , robust – well worth checking out!

This tripod from Sirui seems of very good construction. On initial use it feels robustly built, with excellent hinges and extensions. Very smooth movements. The tripod has three extensions on each leg giving you a max height of 130cm (4ft 3). The adjustments are easy to make and secure well.The aluminium construction is obviously heavier than the carbon option, but considerably cheaper. Its also very tough and will take a beating in the outdoors. The ball head allows for great movement and again its very smooth and the friction is great.My Canon camera seemed very big on it. Its perhaps better for smaller or compact cameras. Otherwise you will need steady terrain to leave it without supporting it.The tripod comes with a carry case and folds up quite small.Its a useful thing to have in the car without taking up a large amount of space.

This is a well made, functional tripod.It has really good functionality.The T-005X is a high quality black travel tripod complete with matching C-10S ball and socket head which stores neatly between the legs when collapsed with an overall length of just 34cm.This, and the light weight of 800g, means it can be easily fitted into a suitcase or rucksack when travelling.For low level operation, the centre column removes, and there’s a handy carabiner hook to hang a weight if it gets windy, or to attach the whole tripod to a waist belt.The 5-section legs are quickly extended or collapsed with the rapid-action leg locks.In cold weather, foam grips give extra handling comfort,and the tripod comes with a carrying bag.Overall an absolutely superb mid-priced tripod.Buy it and use it, you will not be disappointed.
