Sirui ET-1004 Tripod with VA-5 Fluid Video Head

The tripods are extremely lightweight and have a very compact design. In every situation they are light to handle and support your camera securely.  The legs of the ET-1004 can be folded upwards by 180° so that the tripod has a height of just 42cm when collapsed. The head can remain on the tripod. Each leg is formed of 4 sections with 3 secure flip locks. The rubber feet ensure the tripod is steady on all surfaces.  A stabilizing hook on the center column is a SIRUI standard, as are cold-weather grips and a transport bag. The bag strap can also be used as a tripod strap.

SIRUI’s E ball heads operate very accurately, smoothly and softly. The base can be rotated by 360°, ideal for panoramic shots. The friction can be controlled using the setting knobs. The Safety Lock System prevents quick release plates from slipping. The release plate locking mechanism is compatible with Arca Swiss systems and allows various plates to be used.

VA-5 Ultra-Compact Video Head:

The Sirui VA Series Professional Fluid Video Head has a fluid system for smooth panning and tilting. The panning resistance is preset to produce very smooth pans and the tilt mechanism has stepless friction adjustment. Since there are many different sizes of video equipment, having stepless friction control lets you precisely select the proper friction for your gear. A counter-balance mechanism moves the head to a neutral position helping with camera balance and reducing unsteady tilt sequences.

The Sirui designed fluid head tilting mechanism (-60/+90 deg. ) lets you easily adjust resistance producing a smooth, professional look with heavy or lightweight systems. Panning resistance is preset for smooth 360 deg. pans and can be locked for precise framing.

• Dual Safety Lock Quick Release Platform prevents the camera from sliding off the head
• SIRUI TY-70A Quick Release plate with 1/4″ and 3/8″ screws Included
