Sirui VA-5X Video Tripod System Overview
Add a lightweight tripod and fluid head to your mobile video production with the ET-1204 Carbon Fiber Tripod with VA-5X Video Head Kit from Sirui. The compact and lightweight ET-1204 tripod has 4-section legs, weighs only 3.7 lb, and folds down to 21.2″ in length combined with the head. The VA-5X head features a side-loading quick release plate and a dual-lock system, a counterbalance system, and two bubble levels, and it supports camera rigs up to 6.6 lb.
Sirui ET-1204 Travel Carbon Fiber Tripod
The ET-1204 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 55.1″. 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 5.1″. The legs fold in the reverse to a compact 16.5″ to travel with the tripod, and the rubber feet on the legs prevent the tripod from sliding on smooth and flat surfaces.
Sirui VA-5X Compact Fluid Video Head with Side-Loading Plate
The VA-5X Fluid Video Head with Side-Loading Plate from Sirui uses a fluid system to produce smooth pans and tilts for DSLRs and compact video cameras weighing up to 6.6 lb. It features a side-loading quick release plate with a safety pin that is secured by a large, adjustable tension lever. The VA-5X has independent pan and tilt locks, a detachable pan handle that can be used on either side of the head, two bubble levels, and durable aluminum alloy construction.
Side-Loading Plate A side-loading plate system enables you to mount your camera weighing up to 6.6 lb with a single hand. This quick release system incorporates a large lever to lock the safety pin that secures the camera plate. The tightness of the lever lock can be adjusted using the included Allen key. Pan and Tilt Range A pan range of 360 and a tilt range of -60 to 90 provide a variety of shooting angles. Detachable Pan Handle The pan handle is detachable and can be mounted on either side of the head for right or left-hand use. Durable Aluminum Construction The VA-5X head is made of a strong, solid aluminum alloy and features two built-in bubble levels.
