The Sirui T-005KX Tripod with C-10S Ball Head is a compact tripod that can fold down to just 12.2inch / 31 cm, making it the perfect companion for traveling and hiking. This premium quality aluminum tripod is sturdy yet lightweight at 2.3 lb / 1.04 kg. The tripod can reach heights as high as 54inch / 137.2 cm. You can also shorten the center column to as low as 4.1inch / 10.5 cm, giving you the perfect set up to get macro shots and shoot from low angles. The five leg sections can be placed at three separate position angles to prevent any unsteadiness when shooting on uneven terrain. The included C-10S ball head features an Arca-compatible quick release plate and clamp. The ball head allows you to set separate settings for panning and locking. It also features a safety button that will not allow the quick release plate to be disengaged inadvertently.
