Pros: Compact suitable for travel and for small cameras (compacts, mirrorless with moderately heavy lenses, not super teles!!), easy to set up with a simple twist and turn. Reasonably steady even in windy conditions. Easy on-easy off tripod head and the newer X version has an additional press-on button lock which prevents accidental sliding off of the camera mount (tripod head).
Cons: Might be a bit challenging if fully extended and in windy terrains with chunkier cameras. The somewhat unusual height of the middle pillar (supporting the camera) can lead to some instability and vibrations particularly with long teles and macro set-ups. The central hook helps to make the centre of gravity more stable by hanging a heavy weight (camera bag full of goodies, or backpack etc). The advantages (AND PRICE) more than make up for the deficiencies in MOST situations.
Opinion: Great accessory, looks like a well-made product, with impeccable price, finish and utility and packaging! It represents a new generation of Made in China products that will go a long way to dispel the stereotypical negative impressions that earlier Chinese products cast on the minds of western markets. Perhaps tripods like these should incorporate a heavier (solid instead of tubular) lowest/lower two leg sections in similar tripods which have more than 3 sections for added stability without necessarily increasing the total carrying weight...?

Pros:Surely the 33cm closure, the weight and the solidity of the materials used
Cons:Maybe the twisted legs make the accommodation a bit long. (Although photographers with the tripod usually rush does not have)
Opinion:For those who need a travel tripod I think it's perfect.rn I used it in different situations (for example: wet rocks near a cliff) and found it stable. It has a hook that can be hooked up to example the backpack to make it more stable.rnI can use both centrally and without head. The ball head is comfortable but I understand that if one wants a more precise adjustment it may want to change it. rn Anyway I would recommend this tripod that for me has a ratio price / quality super.
Pros:Portability. Lightness. Materials used (carbon)
Cons:Leg screw system; too laborious compared to clips from other models.
Opinion:Having already owned a Manfrotto MK 055 Xpro totally unsuitable (for size and weight) to be transported during hiking, I did a lot of research on Amazon to buy a reliable, yet lightweight, small product to be transported in the hiking bag. I have seen many products and, in the end, I decided to buy this Siru reading the reviews of those who had taken it before me. The choice has fallen on this rather than on others mainly for 3 factors: 1) weight, 2) closure, 3) material (it is carbon, while the other ones I considered were all in aluminum alloy). I tested him enough this summer, carrying me almost daily with me on a hike. Closed, it is perfectly in a backpack compartment. It weighs only 850 grams that are not too long to carry on shoulders along with other material (the samyang 100 mm alone weighs just as well !!!) but I found nothing worth the bottom weight! is a great product for the purpose for which l% 26 # 39; I bought it. is stable (loses a bit if exposed to wind). My color is red (I chose it I could choose on three colors: black, red or blue). I have quietly mounted the D7100 with the samyang 100 mm and with the 14 mm without any problem. it also comes with a shoulder bag. is supplied with a supplied Allen key, but it can be securely screwed in with a coin. The only thing I found uncomfortable is the leg-fit parts of the legs, used in Manfrotto clips, which require a longer field mounting time. For the rest it is a product that I feel strongly advised to who should transport it for a long while on the hike.
Pros:lightweight, compact, sufficiently stable and excellent value for money (I l 'I paid € 100.00 shipped home)
Cons:the head is definitely to be changed as soon as possible, is unstable, is unscrewed from nothing and also the 'coupling of the camera is quite tedious ...
Opinion:Great for the 'use I made it! I did a month wandering between Thailand, Laos and Cambodia alone with a backpack in which they were to get even two lenses, my Canon 70D and everything you need for the trip. hand luggage so of course I had to have to travel light for two reasons: the limit weight / size of the backpack and the fact that for a month I would have carried on the shoulders a backpack. A month before we left I started looking on the internet options, the Sirui was not among the most popular, but they convinced me price and lightness. Great choice!!! comfortably fits my Canon 70D with the Tamron 16-300, l 'I used in various conditions: on the beach with a little' of breeze, no stability problem on the rocks and on uneven terrain, did not give me. no photos move also on long exposures. Only problem is the head, I'll definitely change, is unstable, I happened to hear the machine swinging because his head had slowly unscrewed alone ... GNI 'engagementthe camera on the head screw, but would need a socket head in the absence of a coin that is fine as an alternative! rnQuindi if you want something compact and lightweight to take you anywhere without spending big money, I recommend it!
Pros:lightweight, transportable in a backpack as a Eastpack price
Cons:somewhat laborious assembly
Opinion:is a great tripod, cheaper than the Manfrotto Gitzo rnl'unico neo ... I think it's the inconvenience when unscrewing the legs, I would have preferred for outlet / pliers to tighten chiudirninoltre open and life to reflex serves Allen (supplied) rnrnregge d7000 with Tamron 70-200, by tightening the Allen sooo strong, so it's almost limiternrnse there is even a slight breeze, the photos in the medium focal length out moves
Pros:Materials of construction, compactness, ease of use.
Cons:Maximum capacity 2Kg stable, with slight wind.
Opinion:I purchased this Sirui tripod because I was looking for a lightweight and compact, but at the same time not a toy. The instrument is made of aluminum, it is strong and very easy to assemble and disassemble, comes to 130 cm and about 33 cm folded completely (there is a bag in the photo). I have a tightening screw, but just half a turn to lock / unlock the segments of the legs, so all operations become fast. Great, so use in travel use for which, however, the tripod is designed. The parent indicates that it leads to the maximum 4kg, but my advice is to not exceed 2Kg. My Canon 60D with Sigma 17-70 lens C is perfectly stable, no problem shake-even with long exposure time. Outside, you have to be a little 'attention to the wind so the use of this tripod is not among the most suitable.
