This is a relative lightweight carbon tripod for the size with an outstanding feature set. It is well built with premium materials and has seals in each twist lock to keep out sand and water. The legs are from 29.4mm to 18.5mm, so are larger than series 2 but less than series 3 tripods of Gitzo. Large soft rubber grips will lock in about a half to a third turn. Extending/retracting legs are very smooth despite waterproof seals. Rubber feet can be replaced with spikes for more stability. Careful thought went into the engineering and construction of this tripod as the fit, finish and extra pins to ensure the carbon to aluminum joints do not come apart. An example is the 12" bolt for the long column is mainly made out of carbon, reducing weight even though this is normally hidden in the column. So far, only the waterproofing has been tried with the legs retracted and it works. It remains to be seen how this unit holds up in the long run, but not having to worry about using this in harsh conditions makes it more likely to be taken and used everywhere. Pros: Waterproof legs,short column conversion with removal of weight hook and addition of new one (included) Legs fold back 180 degrees and there is enough room for a small/med tripod ball head that should not protrude beyond the legs. One leg can be converted to monopod. Compact size, will it in most luggage. All the tools and accessories come with the unit. Price Cons: Slightly less stable than comparable Gitzo (this is in lateral stiffness only when twisted from the center column support. Weight: 3.85lbs; you can remove 75% of the long column and get it down to 3.5lbs with short column Height: 70.2" max, 57.3" column recessed, 20.5" folded and 7" with short column, legs spread Accessories: comes with padded case, strap, tools, extra wide mount with reversible 1/4 & 3/8" thread, spikes, hand strap for monopod and weight hook for the short column.Read full review

Great tripod for the price. What an excellent value! Wins are: Carbon Fiber, Waterproof, Height Extension, Spiked Feet Add ons, & Monopod Option. I wish the legs were thicker. Largest tube diameter comes in at 1.2 inches compared to their beefy P 424 SR Monopod that comes in at 1.4 inches.

Awesome, compact and versatile . Just the right size and not too heavy. Well made and dependable in water and dry land. I've been through a lot of Tripids, but this will be the last one I'll need for a very long time. And the warranty is great too!!

I bought two of such tripod over 2 years and here what I learned: Good - Well, it is light carbon fiber tripod. You will pay above $1000 for similar RRS tripod. Bad - Both of my tripod developed exactly the same problem. They lost stopper for one leg which makes them complete dysfunctional. One developed this in couple of weeks after I purchased it and took to my trip to Norway. Second one which I was protecting and keeping in bag most of the time survived entire year. Worse - Despite promised 6 years warranty Sirui USA refused to repair this. They told me "This is normal tear and wear". So, ... if you are buying the tripod for couple of weeks and expect such tear and wear it is your choice.

When I got into large format photography I had to upgrade to a more robust support. This is perfect for my 4x5 field camera.
