The ET-1004 Aluminum Tripod with VA-X5 Video Head Kit from Sirui combines features from both the photo and video worlds into one tripod. With the quickness of the tripod's flip leg lock system and the side-loading camera plate of the compact fluid head, you can be ready to capture video at a moment's notice.
The ET-1004 Travel Aluminum 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.
The VA-5X Fluid Video Head with Side-Loading Plate from Sirui uses a fluid system to produce smooth pans and tilts for DSLRs and compact video cameras weighing up to 6.6 lb. It features a side-loading quick release plate with a safety pin that is secured by a large, adjustable tension lever. The VA-5X has independent pan and tilt locks, a detachable pan handle that can be used on either side of the head, two bubble levels, and durable aluminum alloy construction.
