The Sirui ET-1204 Carbon Fibre Tripod with VA-5X Video Head is designed for traveling photographers and videographers seeking a lightweight, compact, and stable support system. Its key benefit is exceptional portability combined with smooth video head performance for professional-looking shots on the go. A potential caveat is the 3 kg video head payload, which may limit very heavy camera setups. This kit features a durable carbon fiber construction, a 180° swiveling leg design for compact storage, and a versatile video head with fluid motion for pans and tilts.

The VA-5 video head has a maximum payload capacity of 3 kg (6.61 lb).
Yes, while designed with a fluid head for video, it can be used for photography, especially for panning shots or when precise angle adjustments are needed.
The kit includes a long and a short center column. They can be used individually, connected together for maximum height, or the short column can be used for low-angle and macro photography.
The tripod folds down to a compact size of 42 cm (16.5 inches).
The tripod feet have integrated retractable spikes. Simply rotate the rubber mat at the tip of each leg to reveal or retract the spikes.
Yes, the included hook at the bottom of the center column allows you to hang a weight (like a camera bag) to increase stability in windy conditions. The retractable spikes also aid stability on uneven terrain.
Please refer to the warranty information provided with your product packaging or consult the official Sirui website for detailed warranty terms, as it may vary by region.
Ensure all flip locks are fully closed and latched. If slippage persists, check for debris in the lock mechanism and clean. Ensure the surface is appropriate for the leg tips (use spikes on soft ground, rubber on hard surfaces).
Check that the pan and tilt locks are loosened. Ensure the camera's weight does not exceed the 3 kg payload. If jerky movement persists, contact customer support as the fluid might require servicing.
Ensure the quick-release plate is properly attached to the camera and that the camera is securely locked onto the head's quick-release clamp. Double-check that the safety lock mechanism on the head is engaged.
Ensure the center column locking collar is fully loosened before attempting to adjust height. Check for any obstructions or debris around the column.
