@pemtax5576 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much for the extensive demo of just how well the Sirui is designed and manufactured. Even today, it is the swiss army knife of monopods that ticks just about every box there is to tick. You have managed to cover it better than anyone I've viewed and have sold me on its utility. Again thanks for your efforts ...

You're the first reviewer I've heard pronounce Sirui like it's spelled. Usually I hear people say "Sue Ray" and I've no idea why that is other than perhaps Sirui being hard to pronounce.

Mine arrived today. I bought it for video recording in tight spots. The build quality seems good especially the feet. Time will tell how it holds together. Using a monopod takes a bit of practice and is a compromise compared to a tripod. However, Sirui seems to have made such a useful product, that in my opinion, this is an essential tool if you need to keep a small footprint. The printed instructions are in Chinese. No problem because Mr. Cheesy Cam explains everything.

Surprisingly versatile. I was going to go for the Benro (S4) or Manfrotto, mainly for convenient shopping, but after watching this vid and searching Amazon, I found a local retailer for Sirui. Bonus! I think the feature that really sold me was its ability to stand alone without support (although sand bags are apparently recommended if you're leaving it unattended). I had thought the Benro and Manfrotto also locked.
@marekhajduk62695 жыл бұрын
I am a lucky owner of the P-204SR model which has the same functions. I work mainly with a Sony PXW-Z280 video camera plus accessories and due to the fact that I travel a lot, the possibility of distributing the monopod and practically putting it in the hand luggage is invaluable. The quality is excellent and additional advantage is the weight of 1.3kg ... just great! I heartily recommend.
@techone728936 жыл бұрын
I would definitely advise against putting your foot on one of the legs for stability. On a shoot I recently was working, we had two of the Sirui units. On one of them, one of the legs got bent really easily. The aluminum the legs are made of can't take any stress. The weak points are around the bolt holes. The aluminum stretched and now the monopod is junk until the leg can be replaced. It leans really bad and is totally unstable.

Mio Min Mio, I have this monopod, as well as the Manfrotto. It is beautifully designed, and exceptionally well-made. You won't find a better monopod. To get the best out of any monopod for video you really should consider a levelling device (I use the Novoflex MagicBalance) rather than a tripod head. It's kind of like a very low ball head. it means that the monopod can be tilted in any direction, but the camera itself can easily be kept level. the typical tripod head will only remain level if the monopod is tilted forward or back without any side to side movement. It's impossible to keep a monopod perfectly upright, unless the feet are utilised, and the camera essentially 'locked-off'. I tend to think that the monopod makes for really well supported hand-held camera operation...

I was wondering how to ensure the camera was level... You got the answer (Novoflex MagicBalance) but it's not cheap. Thanks!

My only gripe about the Sirui monopod is that it doesn't have the quick adjustment latches like on the Manfrotto or the Benro. Other than that, it's well thought out & as close to perfection as it's gonna get.

Great feature set (had one of the carbon fibre editions in the past) - Though: The model I had was a little bit "grainy" according the horizontal dampening (on the top - which you can lock down).

All the reviews on the Sirui never show the feet being folded up. I wanted to know how quickly and easily the feet could be folded up if one is in a grab and run situation with your hands full. Would also be nice to know where it's manufactured. Especially since I see many Ebay sellers of the Sirui from China. Regardless, I purchased one anyway.

After receiving it I found that each fold-out leg has a button that you use to fold and unfold the legs. If one hand is full I can lean it on my shoulder and operate the legs with one hand. It is made in china but it's very well made. Sturdy enough that I used it in a pinch for some long exposure (4-30 seconds) astro photography shots, albeit, at it's lowest height. A little too heavy for me to take on long hikes though.

I do prefer flip locks, but the twist locks aren't really as bad as some make it sound. Once you have your monopod setup, you don't always need to adjust every piece constantly. If anything just one collar going up and down. Was still worth it.

MrCheesyCam, I am curious when I go to the Sirui website I don't see anything like the Sirui Monopod you are reviewing. The Sirui is based in Canada as far as I can see. The product that you are referring to on Ebay is made in China and Hong Kong. Is this a true Sirui product? It is an interesting product. I want to know what I am buying.
@MrCheesyCam9 жыл бұрын
Yes it's a true Sirui product. Even the Sirui company retweets my tweets, and promotes my articles and videos. Of course if you buy overseas you don't qualify for the warranty that you would normally get if you buy from a local retailer in your area.

While I think this shows that the Sirui is nice tripod I think it's a pretty lame review when it's titled "vs Benro vs Manfrotto". You don't even open the Manfrotto or show the features of the Benro's. Other than the better feet I don't know if the features you show on the Sirui exist on the other two tripods or if they don't. A better review would have you take the time to show us what the other two can do. Also one thing to mention about the Sirui is that for $20 you can get the carbon fiber model which is the same weight but it extends a foot taller. For myself the difference between 5' and 6' would be huge.
