Sirui SH05 Tripod System Overview

The SH05 Video Tripod & Fluid Head Kit from Sirui is designed as an affordable solution with a highly professional appearance. The system includes a lightweight 2-stage aluminum tripod with a 60mm bowl and a compact fluid head with a 13.2 lb payload. A mid-level spreader comes built-in to ensure increased stability, and the working height ranges from 28 to 55". Oversized twist leg locks along the tripod legs allow for quick and easy height adjustments.

The fluid head offers 360° pan rotation with an independent pan lock, and tilt is adjustable from -75 to 90°. A pan bar is included for rosette-mount attachment on either side of the head. The tripod has dual spiked feet and also includes rubber shoes that attach to the spiked feet. Between these two options, the tripod can be used on smooth surfaces as well as soft and uneven outdoor terrain. When the tripod is folded, integrated leg buckles secure the legs for safer storage or transport. A padded, zippered, soft carry case completes the system and provides a convenient way of getting the SH05 where you need to go.

Sirui SH05 Tripod System Reviews

I want to love it, but it's not quite perfect anymore

By Jason

Until recently, this would be a 5 star product. For the price, the quality you got seemed like a steal! However the other day during a shoot, one of the leg locks began slipping as I was shooting. My camera and monitor setup were well below the max capacity the tripod can hold. I applied some gentle pressure to the tripod head and the locks slipped even more, despite being locked firmly. Really bummed, as this has essentially ruined my confidence in this tripod when using it on paid shoots. The mount system is also a bit finnicky, it seems like the mounting plate needs to slide in and out at the exact right angle which can be harder when I have a more hefty camera setup. Overall I don't want to go below 4 stars as I believe my product is simply faulty. I would definitely buy from Sirui again but will likely upgrade to carbon fiber or something more sturdy.

Excellent

Bought this because its far more pro looking than what I was using and Im in the middle of setting up my production company. Being honest the look was a major reason for purchase however, got to say it not only looks like much more expensive ones its actually well-made and you would be pushed to tell the difference. Comes in a neat storage bag, smooth set up. Another 2 being ordered shortly.

The Sirui SH05 Video Tripod & Fluid Head Kit does not come in a flat base with a 3/8"-16 thread. It provides a 60mm half ball.

Unfortunately, at this time, the Sirui SH05 head can only be purchased with the tripod kit, the Sirui SH05 Video Tripod & Fluid Head Kit.
