## Description

SIRUI AM-284 Carbon Fiber Tripod for Travel, Professional Camera Tripod with 4-Section Legs, Twist Leg Locks, Detachable Metal Spikes, Loads up 33LB, Max Height 47.2“

Review: Well made, great design compact for travel - This is an exceptional tripod and ball head, and for the money in particular. Strikes a great balance for leg size, weight and sturdiness while maintaining a very manageable size . The absence of built-in a center column (which can be purchased separately please note) is a positive to me, because the "fold-up" size is much more compact and with flip out screens on DSLRs/MFTs these days working at chest height is easy. The carbon legs and leg locks are very good medium size and feel very high quality and durable. I like the A-10R ballhead and use it with an L bracket where the panning function of the head seems great allowing both rough (lower) collar ring and fine-tuning (upper) ring on the ball adjustments with plenty of capacity load for a full frame DSLR and a beefy lens like the Sigma 14-24. The tripod can easily be slipped into a small carry on bag for travel, especially if one removes the ball head it's very light and svelte. I looked at a number of other tripods in this price range and candidly nothing came close in my opinion looking at alts like Mefoto, Manfrotto, Benro and even other Sirui tripods (in terms of value).
Review: A really good value on a really good tripod - I think tripods are my single most important piece of gear and own 5 of them. 2 are Sirui, my other one being one the largest they make. Base on the quality of the large tripod, I purchased this one. This tripod is solid enough that I can use it under a Sony 200-600 zoom and still get the support needed to get sharp shots. It extends high enough that I don't have to kneel down to see through the viewfinder, and even when it's fully extended, it's remarkably solid. I was prepared to buy a different head for it, and when I first used it, almost resigned myself to doing so, but the wobble I was feeling was due to the QR mechanism not having been seated correctly at the factory. Using the provided hex wrenches, I removed the QR, and re-mounted it, solving the problem. The ball locks solidly, moves smoothly and is very well built with really nice precision machining. The case is nice, but I really won't be using it much. Folded, it easily attaches to teh side of my pack, and especially when considering how solid it is, the weight is very reasonable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Travel Tripod
*by J***G on February 15, 2021*

I own several tripods already, including Gitzo, Velbon, and Leofoto . But I am still very impressed with Sirui AM-284, which is slim, lightweight, and great for travel. Compared to its competitor Leofoto LS-284C, they are very similar in design, specs, and quality. Leofoto LS-284C ranks very high in TheCenterColumn.com's travel tripod rankings while Sirui hasn't been tested by the website. However, based on my own non-scientific test, Sirui seems to be even stiffer than Leofoto, probably due to its larger diameter of its upper two leg sections. This is one of the major reason I picked Sirui in the end. On the other hand, Sirui is slightly bulkier and heavier because of that. Sirui also has bigger rubber ring on its twist locks, which should make them easier to grab with gloves. Its build quality and finish are very good, close to my Gitzo tripods, which is 3 times more expensive. It has a glossy finish on the aluminum parts and the sky blue accent on its angle lock looks beautiful. Overall, this is a great tripod and I really like it.
