The T-1004X Traveler Aluminum Tripod from Sirui is a four-section support which weighs 2.7 lb. Its reverse-folding legs enable the tripod to become compact and folded down to 18.5". By unlocking and fully extending the tripods' legs and center column, the support can reach a maximum working height of 55.3", with a load capacity of 22.1 lb, making the Traveler suitable for a DSLR with a telephoto lens. The variable leg angles enable the tripod to go as low as 5.3", and the hook at the base of the center column allows you to hang a small sandbag or camera bag for stability. Additionally, as uneven terrain can make your tripod unsteady, by turning the rubber feet back on the legs they reveal twist-out steel spikes that stick into the ground and add further stability.
