desertcart.com : SIRUI Lightweight Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod, 52" Compact Camera Tripod with 360°Ball Head Kit, Detachable Center Column, Max Load 13.23lbs/6kg, Traveler 5CX : Electronics

Review: Excellent for plein air painting - I am a plein air painter, and this tripod replaces a previous tripod I use with my lightweight pochade box for painting outdoors. For my purposes this product is simply outstanding. It is lightweight, and collapses to a length that easily fits into my daypack, and still allow me to carry my paints, pochade, panels, etc. in one compact kit. Years ago I would use a French easel and wind up carrying that heavy thing, along with a bag of other stuff into the field and I hated how cumbersome that approach was. This tripod is also quite sturdy, holding small pochade and panel holders quite stable. It's a little surprising, actually, given how small the tripod mount is... the footprint doesn't give one much confidence looking at it, but I've been quite happy using it with an Open Box M as well as a U.Go pochade. One caveat: I would not attempt to use large pochade boxes with this tripod. (Get a heavy medium or large format tripod instead, if that's your goal.) For painting 8 x 10 inches or smaller, this is ideal.
Review: Compact, light, and sturdy for size - I have several tripods but needed something for travel, that was lightweight, compact when folded but can handle my Mirrorless camera and zoom lenses. This has a mounting base that is stable for my camera, and removal from the tripod is easy. There is an ability to pan across a landscape, tilt and angle. A small level at the top is useful for uneven surfaces. A hook for additional stability is in the center of the tripod. The legs are carbon fiber and the feet have rubber contours for stability. The legs can be adjusted upright or be set up nearly horizontally. The legs fold up 180 degrees to facility storage. The action of controls are smooth. The release of the legs are by a control knob at each joint. In the compact/horizontal form, I was able to mount my Canon EF USM 200-400 mm lens without stability issues. I do not believe I’d try this in full extension given the size of the bottom legs. I only tested this tripod indoors. Though my purpose will be used for astrophotography, landscapes and buildings when traveling. It comes with a drawstring bag for storage/protection. Overall I am pleased with the size, design and functionality of the product. It allows me to have a tripod for travel in a nice compact package.

## Features

- Travel Light: The SIRUI Traveler 5CX tripod kit features high-quality carbon fiber legs and a sturdy aluminum ball head, designed specifically for travel. When folded, it measures only 12.4”/31.5 cm, making it compact and easy to pack. Perfect for storing in your suitcase, carry-on, backpack side pocket, external straps, or even in your car
- Telescopic and Removable Center Column: This lightweight tripod kit includes a carbon fiber center column that is both extendable and removable. It allows you to significantly increase the tripod’s height for high-angle shots, and can be conveniently removed when shooting at lower angles. Note: The center column is designed for removable use only; Cannot use in inverted position
- Flexible Height Adjustment: The lightweight carbon fiber tripod offers highly flexible height adjustment, ranging from a minimum of 3.54”/9 cm to a maximum of 52”/132 cm including the center column. With three leg-angle positions, you can easily adjust shooting height and stability. Note: Outdoor conditions may affect stability, the higher the tripod, the lower the recommended payload. For optimal performance, use with lightweight cameras or smartphones
- Lightweight Design, Yet Firmly Supports Every Shot: Weighing only 2.03 lbs/0.93 kg, this tripod supports up to 13.23 lbs/6 kg. For safe outdoor use at full height (52”/132 cm), we recommend a payload of up to 50% of its rated capacity (6.61 lbs/3 kg). Avoid using heavy gimbals or long telephoto lenses when fully extended
- 360°Detachable Ball Head: Equipped with a quick-release panoramic ball head, allowing you to easily capture shots from any angle. The ball head can rotate 360° horizontally and tilt 90° vertically via the adjustment knob, offering versatile shooting possibilities. It features a 360° horizontal scale for precise positioning and comes with a highly compatible quick release plate for Arca

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how much does the ball head weigh?**
A: The ball head weighs 0.205kg/0.45lbs.

**Q: Can I set up on this tripod Koolehaoda Q80 Double Handle 3D Ball Head?**
A: Yes, you can set up on this tripod with your Koolehaoda Q80 Double handle ball head. The mounting screw on SIRUI tripod is convertible from 3/8″to 1/4″ for effortless switch between heads.

**Q: Can you mount and edge pro easel on the siriu carbon filter tripod?**
A: The tripod is designed to hold up to 8.8 lbs according to its specs that are listed.  If you lowered the tripod somewhat (especially upper section) and spread the legs for stability you may be able to do what you need.  The easel would also have to accommodate the tripod head attachment (arca swiss plate).  I do not have experience with easels, but the tripod I have that is similar to this one does accommodate my cameras and lenses well.  I tend not to go as high as the 8.8 limit.  The Sirui tripods in general are very nice.  I have several of them.

**Q: What's the difference between 5c and 5cx?**
A: Ball head is different. 5CX's ball head is better than 5c

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Only for equipment under 3 lbs.
*by E***N on August 13, 2022*

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.
