Sirui VA-5X Video Tripod System Reviews

The best tripod deal you will ever find

By Doug

Great video head and the best lightweight tripod available for $130? Unbelievable deal. Super sturdy tripod, well-built almost pro-level video head. I strapped it to my backpack full of camera gear and hiked 5 miles through the hills, and while it's slightly heavier than the super light (but flimsy) tripod/head combos out there, I had no trouble hauling it around.

Needed A New Lightweight Tripod For Still Photography

I Lovetripod How Lightweight This Is. I Totally Did Not Need The Video Head But I Bought This Due To The Great Sale Price. The Tripods I Looked At Were Way More Expensive Even Though I Ended Up Buying A Still Camera Head, I Am Very Happy With This Purchase Due To The Weight And Versatility.

Asked by: Niels
Yes, the load capacity of the Sirui ST-125 Carbon Fiber Tripod with VA-5X Video Head Kit is split between two components. The Sirui ST-125 Carbon Fiber Tripod has a payload maximum of 26.5 lb, and the Sirui VA-5X Video Head has a payload of 6.6 lb. The Sony FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS Lens on the Sony a7R V Mirrorless Camera has a combined weight of 4.7 lb and will be accommodated by the Sirui ST-125 Carbon Fiber Tripod with VA-5X Video Head Kit.

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.
