The Sirui ET-2204 Carbon Fiber Tripod with VA-5X Video Head Kit provides a flexible option for hybrid shooters who want portability. The legs are made of lightweight carbon fiber and fold 180 degrees for a travel length of 16.9 inches. The legs have four sections with quick-flip locks, adjustable leg angles, and dual-purpose rubber feet that reveal spikes that retract for stabilization on all kinds of terrain.
The VA-5X fluid video head offers professional control for cameras up to 6.6 lb (3 kg). A fluid-damping system mechanism produces smooth pictures and allows 360-degree pans and vertical tilts (−60 to +90 degrees) for jerk-free operation. The video head has a detachable pan handle that can be mounted on either side of the head, an Arca-type side-loading quick release plate with safety lock, and two bubble levels for better alignment. Legs alone can hold up to 26.5 lb (12 kg) of weight or 16 kg with the VA-5X head, and the leg sections have an open design which creates a solid platform with or without the light video head.

Sirui ET-2204 Travel Carbon Fiber Tripod
The ET-2204 Travel Carbon Fiber 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 57.1". 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 5.3". The legs fold in the reverse to a compact 16.9" to travel with the tripod, and the rubber feet on the legs prevent the tripod from sliding on smooth and flat surfaces. In addition, the feet retract back to reveal metal spikes to further stabilize the support on softer terrain.
