The Sirui T-2205X 5-Section Carbon Fibre Tripod is a very lightweight, compact tripod that extends to a maximum height of 56.9" and folds down to just 14.6" for easy transport. Weighing only 2.6 lb, the T-2205X supports loads up to 26.5 lb thanks to its thick upper leg sections and forged aluminium alloy chassis. The head mounting screw is reversible, with a 1/4"-20 mount on one end and 3/8"-16 on the other.
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 stages
- Anti-leg rotation system makes setup faster
- Automatic leg-angle lock mechanism for speed and convenience – independently lock legs into place at three different angles
- Retractable spiked feet for stable operation on looser terrain
- Short centre column allows the tripod to reach extremely low positions – minimum height of 5.3"
- Leg warmer 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 in windy conditions
- Well-designed padded travel bag with sturdy shoulder strap for carrying
