Sirui VA-5X Video Tripod System Reviews

Best Tripod Setup!

By Joel
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-10-16

I’ve used this tripod for photography and hunting and it’s great for both of these activities. Folds up small, light, and extremely sturdy. I have young kids that have grabbed it, thrown it around, played with the legs in ways they weren’t intended to be used, and it is still working great

Can this tripod support the weight of a Bolex H16 ...

Can this tripod support the weight of a Bolex H16 camera plus a 5 pound zoom lens?
Asked by: Kyle
The body weight of the Bolex H16 from my research is about 6 lbs. The Sirui T-024SK Carbon Fiber Tripod with VA-5X Video Head has a 6.6 lb weight capacity and would work with the Bolex if the weight with the lenses attached is in a similar weight range.

Does the head have resistance pan or just loose?

Does the head have resistance pan or just loose?
Asked by: SOHEIL
The Sirui T-024SK Carbon Fiber Tripod with VA-5X Video Head doesn’t include a pan drag adjustment feature, so the pan movement is fixed with a smooth, fluid feel. However, you won’t be able to increase the drag tension on the VA-5X head.
