The ET-1204 Travel Carbon Fiber Tripod from Sirui is a 4-section support with a flip leg lock system that you can disengage to give you the ability to extend the legs along with the standard rapid center column to a maximum height of 55.1". With its three variable leg angles and independent leg spread, the tripod's legs can conform to uneven terrain; splaying the tripod's legs out and switching the standard center column to the included short column, the support can go to a minimum height of 5.1". The legs fold in the reverse to a compact 16.5" to travel with the tripod, and the rubber feet on the legs prevent the tripod from sliding on smooth and flat surfaces.

Sirui ET1204 Reviews
Despite its bulky design, this lightweight tripod is perfect

Despite its bulky design, this lightweight tripod is perfect for traveling cinematographers. Though it could be smaller, the weight is more important to me, especially since I travel frequently. While there is no perfect tripod yet, this one is a great option for travelers who need to carry heavy gear.

It is only 1/2 lb heavier than my Gitzo travel, but much stronger. Lower section broke on my Gitzo and bought this while waiting for replacement part. Now thinking about this being my main travel tripod. Fraction of the price of a Gitzo and stronger legs.

Is it threaded for feet spikes?
The Sirui ET-1204 Travel Carbon Fiber Tripod does not have spiked feet, nor does it have threads for spiked feet. The Sirui ST124 Standard Series 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod (B&H # SIST124) would be a good alternative.
