Review on ๐ŸŽฅ SIRUI VA-5 Fluid Video Head with Quick Release Plate - VH/VA-Series by Jason Bollinger

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Vertical cushioning is great for this scope

I use this with a Swarovski ATX95 spotting scope. Vertical damping is great for this scope. I wish the horizontal pan and plate lock levers were a bit bigger. And sometimes the record is difficult to put in the head. The first copy (only $200 at the time) was a bit wobbly. As I removed the head from the tripod legs, a tiny screw fell out of the tripod's threaded socket. Sent it back to the US retailer (Aragraph; I had to pay for return shipping). The second works fine. I now take the scope off my head when transporting the tripod/scope in the car. This can prevent the problem from occurring in the future. At the current price of $250, I would most likely pick the $160 Manfrotto MVH500AH.

Pros
  • Safety Lock System - prevents accidental plate slipping
Cons
  • Quality
