Sirui ET-2004 Tripod with E-20 Ball Head Reviews

It is heavy!

Great quality tripod for a reasonable price. Quite heavy, so I think twice when taking it with me😀. But it is very well made and has all the features you might want, the ball head operates flawlessly, it has a bag too.

Perfect

For my use with a Canon 7dMII and/or Sony A7r3, it works really well. The largest lens I've used on it has been the 100-400 + tele extender. No problem. What I like most, are 1) light weight, 2) clips to open legs (very fast), 3) Ball head, nothing fancy but solid, 4)extension tube for more height, or for macro (replacing the longer tube), 5) 2 sets of hex keys included, 6) Shoulder start included - and I actually love to use it when walking over any extended distance, both hands are then free. 7) Great price. 8) My wife has one to, and has no problem using it. I'm a retired pro with 6 or 7 tripods at any point in time, but for what I'm doing most of the time now, this is perfect.

I'm planning on using it with Gimbal head and D7200 with 150-600 mm Sigma Sport lens?
Asked by: Brian W.
If your inquiry is may the Sirui ET-2004 Aluminum Tripod with E-20 Ball Head be used with a gimbal head and your Nikon D7200/Sigma 150-600mm lens combination, then the answer is yes. The combined weight of the Nikon D7200 DSLR camera and the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports Lens for Nikon is 7.79 lbs (3.53 kg), and the Sirui ET-2004 Aluminum Tripod with E-20 Ball Head has a maximum load capacity of 26.5 lb (12 kg).

I have a 3/8X16 female in camera will this tripod support it?
Asked by: Craig
The TY-50E Quick Release Plate included with the E-20 Ball Head on the Sirui ET-2004 Aluminum Tripod uses the standard 1/4"-20 male tripod screw. If your camera has a 3/8"-16 female tripod socket, you would need a reducer bushing such as the Oben 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 Reducer Bushing, B&H # OB1039, or you can purchase an Arca-type quick release plate that includes a 3/8”-16 screw, such as the Acratech Arca-Type Universal Quick Release Plate (3/8"-16), B&H # ACQRPCT38, the Really Right Stuff B29 Multi-Use Fore-Aft Plate with 3/8"-16 Screw, B&H # REB29PLATE, or the Sirui TY-70A Quick Release Plate, B&H # SISUTY70A, for your usage needs.

question

How will it hold a Canon 6D with a sigma 150-500 mm lens?
Asked by: Anonymous
Can't speak to that specific model but the lbs rating lives up to whatever you can throw at it. This tripod has heavy duty construction amd is very stable. You'll be hard pressed to find a better value or a more compact tripod with this weight rating. I had to tighten down the leg supports after a couple uses with heavy gear but i haven't had slipage since. Again, you won't go wrong here.

question

Does this convert to a Monopod? Can it handle Nikkor D750 with 200_500 lens?
Asked by: Anonymous
I don't think it will convert to a monopod.A long lens could work on a 200 to 500 depending on where the mount bracket is. I have a Tokina 150- 500 that I use on a monopod most of the time for sports action it has the mount in the middle and is well balanced

question

Asked by: Jennelle G.
The E-20 Ball Head will allow the camera to aim straight down along the center column of the tripod.
