SIRUI AM-284 Carbon Fibre Tripod for Camera, Max Height 47.2"/120cm

A sound mid weight tripod.

As described.

I absolutely love this version of the Sirui am2 series tripods. The 284 is the same as the 254 except it has the thicker studier legs. I was carrying an excellent aluminium tripod for most birding shots, and a tiny carbon one for low down (because the metal one had a centre column) - this setup worked well, but the longer you walk the more you feel the weight. I have replaced both with this tripod. Plus points: - No central column so can be lowered super low - Really sturdy legs so even works with my heavy 450mm lens - Lovely leg release and locks, large and grippy and easy to use - Two sizes of screw included for mounting a head - Comes with the keys and spiked feet Downside: - Only 120cm at highest, but as I am a short a*r$e not an issue for me, i use mostly from sitting postion, and even so once the gimbal is on then a large lens mounted to it, it is more like 145cm to the viewfinder. You can buy a centre column extender which effectively removes this as an issue - Leg hinges are a little stiff to open, but they supply a key to relax them - I prefer stiff so I can carry by the legs

Pros > value for money > Comes with carry bag and screwable spikes > Extreme low reach, but never extend the legs when low to ground. Added pressure may crack the joints > I am using it with Manfrotto xpro ball head. Works fantastic. > Overall length 16 inch closed and 4’10” fully opened (with ball head). > lightweight…perfect for travel. Cons: > End finish of the tubes are not good. Fibres are rough. Be careful when cleaning. Can cut your hand or loosen fibre may get broken > locks are not sand or dust proof. After photoshoot at the beach had to open all locks and tubes to clean thoroughly. The locking threads catches sand and can ruin the threads.

Ok

Great stable tripod. The carbon fiber and the adjustability are great. The weight is really good and it is really stable. I bought a head for this and has worked out great with my camera and long 70-300 lens.

Giuste dimensioni per essere portato in giro agganciato allo zaino, non si fa sentire. Ci ho montato sopra una Testa Gimbal SIRUI K10 davvero piccola ma robusta. Il tutto risulta comunque compatto e legato dietro lo zaino nel complesso non lo si sente addosso. Il trepiede NON ha colonna centrale ma, nella mia configurazione non serve, anzi, al contrario il trepiede può aprire le gambe fino a portarsi quasi rasoterra, le 3 leve di sgancio sono molto rapide per posizionarsi al meglio. L'estensione delle gambe è semplice ruotando le manopole i tubolari scivolano tranquillamente ed il serraggio richiede una leggera forza di serraggio. Utilizzato con una Canon DX1 Mark II con il Sigma 150-600 Sport il Treppiede è STABILE e sicuro. Nella confezione all'interno è presente anche una borsa per il trasporto o per riporlo, ma con la mia testa risulta inutile :D, in'oltre viene fornita anche una chiave per eventuali regolazioni. Sempre in dotazione 3 puntali in acciaio che possono essere sostituiti a i piedini in Gomma, per chi ne avesse la necessità. Considerando Prezzo, peso, prestazioni, robustezza, per me è un Ottimo prodotto. !!! Spero sia stata un utile recensione !!!! Ciao, Virginio ;)

Prima prijs kwaliteit, doet wat je verwacht.

Super tripod, light, but steady as a rock.

こちらの三脚にスリックSH747 を取り付けましたが動画撮影時のパノラマ風景もぶれたりしなく安定感の有る三脚で文句無し そこそこの重量もあるので作りは確りしています、構図を決めて固定したらぶれる事は無いんじゃないかな 夜間撮影でもブレること無かったですね ただこの三脚がセンター棒での上げ下げが出来ないので脚と脚の間にハンドルを持っていくことで90度まではいきませんが星空撮影でも支障のない角度まで上向きには出来ました 納得の出来る三脚でこれから使い込んでいくのが楽しみです
