Hi, is there a difference in weight and height between the ballheads of Sirui 5C and 5CX? I would like one picture with the Sirui 5C and the 5CX next to each other, just to see the how they compare.

Fantastic comparison, tempted by the 5C... I currently have the KF BA225, I do like the fact the centre column can collapse down and that you can also convert it to a monopod which came in a handy a few times, it also has a bit more working height, but it is 160g heavier: - K&F BA225: 35cm folded, 152cm max height, 8kg load capacity, 1013g carbon fibre, converts to monopod - Sirui Traveler 5C: 33cm folded, 138cm max height, 4kg load capacity, 850g carbon fibre - Aoka CMP163: 37cm folded, 71cm extended, (138cm with extension pole), 2.5kg load capacity, 500g carbon fibre

Camera support equipment is such a good investment. Utility and longevity, unlike our electronic gear. I still use a fluid head and sticks I bought in the 70's. This brand is good quality and offers a great value prop. Good show, Cheers

Thank You for your video. I have both tripod and appreciated them. I really like the little Sirui C5X tripod but it has an annoying hidden flaw: The tripod head is screwed onto the column with an all-plastic attachment. Used in difficult conditions with the ZV-E10 and the 18-135mm, not a very heavy set, the head unscrewed. When I tightened the system, the thread was damaged and the head no longer held. Sirui exchanged the tripod but the problem remains the same, you have to use this tripod with care.

The peak design is arca swiss compatible so if can fasten in, yes. It won’t be a “quick release” but will operate as a normal plate

Came back here to say that I received the product from Amazon and it is way better than I expected. All the joints are tight and it feels so solid and well made. It's about half the weight of my previous tripod and folds down to about 5 inches less in length. The built-in arca top with release and ball joint are so nice. Can't say enough about this. I'm only using a Fuji X100V and Sony a6000 on it, so I don't need it to support a ton of weight, but it feels like it could hold way more.

I wonder, if the aluminium version will last longer, while the plastic version might not last over 10 years? Can anybody test this by searching for old tripods for comparison, for example?

@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Жыл бұрын

Carbon fibre is about 4 times stronger than aluminum - it not a plastic it’s made of carbon atoms woven into a fabric. So I think it should outlast the aluminum. But I’m not a scientist - so I can’t say for sure 😃

@TexpatOTG Жыл бұрын

Carbon fiber is relatively new material for tripods, but considering its other uses in aviation and auto industries, I would bet it will have a long service life.

those tripods are huge in thickness! not what i would call a 'travel' tripod how would you fit those in the side of a backpack 😂

@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Жыл бұрын

I think it's the balance of weight and stability that makes them travel. Most people strap them to backpacks as opposed to side pockets. The ones that fold up small like the zero y and peak design and others are pretty pricey if you want super compact AND stable 😀

It's really sturdy, the ball head mount / the swivel is smooth and when paired with a PGYTECH quick release system it's pretty fantastic. It's a little on the heavier side, but not unreasonably heavy. Definitely worth checking out.
