Reverse folding legs make the T-2005X Aluminium Tripod with E-20 Ball Head from Sirui an ideal lightweight, compact travel tripod. It extends to a maximum height of 64.8" and folds down to just 15.9" for easy transport. Weighing only 4.1 lb, the T-2005X supports loads up to 26.5 lb thanks to its relatively thick upper leg sections and forged aluminium construction.
Features
- Forged aluminium results in stronger components than the traditional casting process that's often used for tripod chassis. Forging leads to more compacted metal and enhances the integrity of metal grains so they remain consistent and continuous. This leads to a longer product life and better performance
- An anodising surface treatment, produced by an electrolytic oxidation process to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of metal parts, is applied to increase corrosion & wear resistance and surface hardness, and to enhance colour durability
- Silicone twist locks for leg sections
- Anti-leg rotation system makes setup faster
- Automatic leg-angle lock mechanism for speed and convenience – independently lock legs into place at two different angles
- Foam grip on one leg facilitates handling in extreme weather conditions and helps protect it
- Centre column hook allows you to add a ballast for a sturdier setup
- Well-designed padded travel bag with sturdy shoulder strap for carrying
