SIRUI Traveler 5AX 52″Aluminum Camera Tripod, 360° Panorama B-00K Ball Head and Arca Swiss Quick Release Plate, Folded Height 12.4", Load up to 6kg/13.2lbs

Leggero e poco ingombrante...per me che l'estate vado soprattutto in moto è quello che cercavo...me lo porto sempre dietro.

Great device. I picked this up for a meteor shower happening later this week. It has nice features I would expect and it does them well. In the featured photos we have a dome spirit level. Adjusting the legs to get that level balance is super easy. The clips that lock the legs in place are like switches, which is actually nice. It has 3 placement settings for legs. And seems to be sturdy enough. The rotating cuff to extend the legs are also really nice here. They are rubber which gives a good grip, and locks in well. Now the really interesting but about this product has to be the swivel and the degree markers. I noticed some people review that this tripod is bad at panorama photos because it's on a ball. But if you refer to the photo with the degree marking and the knob, what you will find is that if you turn that knob you can then rotate the base in degrees. Now if you have your spirit level correct and your camera has a level sensor in it, or even your phone-- taking panorama photos are actually more precise as you can position exactly what you want while maintaining what is level. The larger knob with the handle is used to position the ball in the rotor cup. Great for nearly picking any angle of shot. Also has the standard clip weight at the base. When the legs are fully extended it is a bit bendy... But if it does the job. What's i did not picture: Now what's really cool is that; and my last tripod didn't do this, is that you can flip the whole thing over and mount the camera upside down for even lower angled shots. But be warned there is nothing for the clip to secure it, so you need to deal with that... But it offers a nice way to really get low. There are two grips made of a decent material near the weight clip. Why they didn't have 3 I don't know. Probably to let you know it's designed to have the spirit level in front of you.

Tamaño compacto. Tiene buena resistencia. Lo he utilizado básicamente con cámaras análogas (Hasseblad 500CM y Linhof Technika V), cargándolo hasta con 4 kg sin ningún problema. Sus materiales y acabados se ven muy buenos, aproximándose mucho a un tripié de marca de mayor calidad.

This is a full size sturdy tripod that folds down into a very small package that I can throw into my bag. It is high quality, easy to use, very portable and sturdy. I like the hood underneath where I can hang a weight to give it even a more sold feel. I first time I used it was on a profession shoot at a church taking pictures for their social media and web page. It has a very professional look about it.

Fully extended the lower half of the legs bow with any sway of a 3 lb+ device. (spotting scope in my case) The rotation at the base of the holder turns until tightened so the only free turn you actually have is the ball which makes it difficult to stay level for a panoramic view. (not good for pan filming of any kind) Additionally 2 of the legs had soft grip tubes around the top section, 1 of them was bare. Usually tripods will have 1 with that for a Mono-Detatch pole. I am 6'2" so if I had a straight sight to look through such as most cameras I would have to lean down uncomfortably to get a clear, straight view. (Obviously not an issue if you are under 6' tall) With the angled view of my spotting scope it was just barely the right height for me. The mounting plate is only perhaps 1/2 the size of others I've used and makes half the actual contact to the base of either my spotting scope or camera. It may hold well but it doesn't instill a sense of trust in the tripod. On the plus side the ratchet style opening of the legs seems to be almost magnetic.(not spring set) Slight pressure for locking or unlocking works well and when in locked position they audibly click at each of the locking positions. The unit collapses to a very slim, short package and is rather light weight for storage and travel purposes. The locking joints work well with soft rubber grips and the ends have grippy rubber tabs that are slightly convex at the tip for outdoor use. I am returning it today in favor of a NEEWER N55CR. More expensive (by $10) but better in all of the afore mentioned aspects and more. Overall it's a good tripod but not durable enough for my needs and the inability to spin freely would hinder it's use. If that doesn't bother you and your equipment is under 3 lbs. then it's a good buy for the price.
