Gain the advantage of using the ET-2004 Aluminum Tripod with VA5 Video Head Kit from Sirui, where features from both the photo and video worlds combine into one tripod. With the quickness of the tripod's flip leg lock system and the compact size of the fluid head, you can be ready to go and capture video at a moment's notice.
The SIRUI VA-5 Ultra-Compact Video Head uses a fluid system to produce smooth pans and tilts for DSLRs and compact video cameras weighing up to 6.6 lb. It features independent pan and tilt locks and uses an internal spring-assisted counterbalance mechanism for smoother tilt movements with heavier cameras. A TY-70A quick-release plate comes included, for forward/backward adjustment possible when attached to the head to help balance your camera. A dual safety lock system prevents the plate and your camera from falling off the head when the primary locking mechanism is loosened. To release the plate, simply press the secondary release button. To assist in horizontal alignment of your shots, the head has two bubble levels: one on the base of the head to align the tripod and one on the top of the head to align the camera. One pan handle comes included.
The ET-2004 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 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.
