SiruiCarbon Fiber Tripod Lightweight 2lbs with Panoramic Fluid Head, 59.8” Compact Camera Tripod Quick Release Leg Setup, Reversible Center Column, Reverse Folding Legs, Max Load 11lbs - Traveler X

High quality product from Sirui. Tripod deploys fast. Legs lock in nicely and was incredibly lightweight. I think its worth it for the price. Used it for about a year before one of the legs broke. The seller kind enough to provide me a new replacement within a week. Would buy more from this seller again. Thank you again!

Let’s be honest. Tripods aren’t the fanciest, flashiest things, and this one is no different. there’s other options that weigh less, cost more, are taller, are shorter. But if you’re looking for a SUPER small tripod that sets up easily, this is it.Things that I love:It sets up SO quick. This is my go-to tripod for content creation now, just because of how fast it sets up. It’s always awkward filming in public, so being able to set up, get the shot, and get out is a HUGE benefit.It actually holds the weight of my DSLR/Mirrorless cameras unlike some other cheaper travel tripods.This thing is LIGHT. Like crazy light. The heaviest part is the head (which you might want to replace anyways, more later).Things that I… don’t love:It’s 2025 now and everyone has a knockoff of the PD quick release plate. I didn’t realize how annoying it is to manually tighten down a tripod mount until i had to do it again. The head is also just kind of heavy and big in general. You can find a replacement head that is both smaller and has a PD quick release plate, which actually lets the legs fold in a little bit more. It’s a weird design choice overall.The leg locking mechanisms are FAST, but they’re also quirky. It takes some getting used to, and when you haven’t used it in a while you end up not extending a leg all the way or not locking one all the way.Overall, if you’re on the fence about picking up this tripod, you won’t regret adding it to your kit. You might not use it EVERY time, but for the price it will fit a role that no other tripod can fill quite the same way. For that reason, it gets a 5/5 in my book every day.

This is an awesome tripod for traveling. The locking mechanism takes some getting used to but it works great. I keep leaving my old tripod home due to the weight but this one is so lightweight and easy to carry.

Pros: Lightweight, easy to use, compactCons: telescopic legs sometimes get stuck, turning legs to lock sometimes not greatIn the price range, this is a good product, it does what is advertised. I think the locking mechanism could be better but overall it does work.

This is a great and compact little tripod. I do like the design of the one twist locking leg system. It holds very steady and you can't beat off how light it is. I got this tripod over similar ones because of how small the diameter is when it's folded down.

If you, like me, are shopping lightweight tripods for backpacking or other weight-critical uses, you might be interested to know how close this comes to the claimed 750g weight. It weighs 950g on my scale. Replacing the fluid head with a small ball head gets it down to 865g. ditch the center column extension and you can get it down further to 825g with a 51" working height. This is lighter than my older Sirui T-005KX travel tripod, which weighs in at 925g with the same ball head and also with a center column deletion. That tripod also had a working height of only 40" with the center column removed.This one is faster to deploy/pack up than the older one with a twist lock on each leg segment. I hope the mechanism holds up in time. Two of the twist locks on my T-005KX are broken.If you really want to prioritize light weight, the ultra-cheap Amazon Basics tripod weighs 585g on the same scale. But that tripod feels MUCH flimsier and poorer build quality.In the end, this is my favorite option for a travel or backpacking tripod. Even if it doesn't quite meet the claimed weight goal, it does strike a good balance of weight, working height, and build quality.

The GOOD: Tripod is extremely light and sturdy when deployed.The OKAY: The leg locks seem flimsy, but work flawlessly.The BAD: The fluid head is worthless it grinds.... Might try to exchange the head or return the tripod. would be perfectly find for still photos But not if your recording video and need pan.

Light, stable and versatile, good accessory for photography, it is not for heavy equipment perhaps but for a medium camera with lenses up to 300 mm it is quite good, easy to extend.
