Sirui BCT-3203 Tripod with VHS18 Head Reviews

I had the legs already and bought the head/legs kit because the legs felt solid. Head feels solid as well. The true test will be the wear and tear. That’s the only reason it’s not 5 stars

Serious Sachtler Competition

This Is A Large, Solid, Very Well Built, Pro Caliber Tripod. This Is Not A Toy. I'm Using It For An URSA Mini Pro G2 Series Camera. I Also Own A Sachtler Tripod And If I Were Sachtler, I'd Be Concerned. Before Purchasing, I Was Hesitant As It Appeared Almost Too Good For The Price. When I Got It, It Exceeded My Expectations And Even Included A Soft Case That Was Not Listed In The Description. It's Got Two Bubble Levels, One At The Top And One At The Base Of The Fluid Head That Lights Up. It Comes With Floor Spreaders And A Removable Mid Level Brace, Two Removable Fully Adjustable Handles On The Fluid Head. Carbon Fiber Makes It Light For It's Size. It's Got Everything I Need. I Measured The Actual Weight At 19 Pounds In The Case. I'm Impressed.
