SIRUI Lightweight Carbon Fiber Mini Travel Tripod with Two-Section Center Column, Max Height 26", Supports 22lbs (AM-223+SL-100)

This is one sweet tripod. Small, yet has a fair amount of heft to it. Adjusts precisely and is extremely sturdy. I use it, along with a fairly heavy latitude base, to take polar aligned astro pics with my smart scopes (Dwarf 3 & S50). The S50 setup is a pretty substantial load but the Sirui supports it easily and, importantly, without vibration.

I've been shopping for lightweight, small travel tripods, and I'm so glad I got this cleverly designed tripod. It will easily fit in a suitcase. It's sturdy and will support my Nikon - but for best stability with this heavier camera, it seemed wise to open the legs to a wider stance. (In fact, the legs can open all the way flat.) For a GoPro, it's perfect. The legs open and lock easily. I rigged the post with an inexpensive small ball head and a Manfrotto quick-release adapter/plate I had on hand. Conveniently, you can open the top piece and choose which end of the screw goes up - 1/4-inch or 3/8-inch - so you can easily add a head of your choice. The legs come with rubber feet or optional metal spikes. The fact that this particular configuration comes in two pieces makes it easier to carry; it folds up tightly because there's no center column on the tripod to stow. Both pieces fit in the included bag, which I can stuff in an outside pocket of my Think Tank Mirrorless Mover Backpack. And you can always use the stick as a short monopod with the proper head on it. SHORT is the operative word here; it extends almost to 26" tall. This would be a great tabletop tripod. I used it on a wide windowsill, for example. But it's also fine for outdoors if you don't mind getting a lower angle on your subject. I mostly expect to shoot the sky with a GoPro, and it'll be fine for that. This was a reasonably priced piece of gear that's perfect for travel or tooling around town.

Excellent unit! Built like the brick you know what of lore. Will withstand any torturous encounter. But, it weighs a taste more than you may wish to carry in you pack.

My only complaint is that I wish the carrying sleeve was just a little longer to accommodate a head installed on the base.

Very well made and very small. Perfect for traveling. The addition section to gain a little more height is a nice touch.

2nd one I've bought. I use it for macro R5 and an amaran light. Sturdy and made with metal and quality. Lightweight.

Worked perfectly! Exactly what I needed!

This is my second one of its kind from Sirui. They are to me, the best small tripods out there. Just amazing quality even putting the price aside. I have lots of their stuff now as I am quite impressed with their products. This little guy is super strong. Not the lightest obviously, but wow is it made nice. It functions without issue and holds a ton for its size. When you compare with the price on top of all this, it’s a no brainer. The only thing that should stop you from getting this is if you need to carry a tripod around in your wallet. This won’t fit. For everything else, it’s the bomb. Recommended.

Light weight and portable. Very stable with my sony 6700 camera.

スマート望遠鏡のseestar赤道儀仕様で使う為2本購入。小さく折りたためて軽量なので海外遠征でも助かります。私の場合は延長筒は不要なので、延長筒なしのタイプがあると尚良いと思います。

It’s perfect for travel what need as landscape photographer

A distanza di tempo, posso dire che è piccolo ma veramente ben progettato. Ci monto sopra una testa a sfera Manfrotto. Leggero, utilissimo per tutte le situazioni simili a davanzali, parapetti, dove posizionare un cavalletto normale di grandezza superiore è scomodissimo . Ben fatte le articolazioni e i morsetti delle zampe. Veramente un bel prodotto.

Très bien, peu encombrant, nombreux réglages. La colonne centrale fournie me semble superflue (risque de vibration, d'instabilité).
