Review on SIRUI AM-284 Travel Carbon Fiber Tripod, Professional Camera Tripod With 4-Section Legs, Twist Leg Locks, Detachable Metal Spikes, Loads Up 33LB by Larry Sabey

It was time for a modern lite tripod.I dreamed about a bowl leveling base, but could not mitigate the extra weight.For vidio I would go for such a base.With this unit I try not to extend the last set of legs.But they do a marvelous job.I knew this tripod's hight, but am finding it uncomfortably short at times.It is better down on the ground for macro than expected. This is a bonus!Hanging ballast or staking to the ground is easy.I like the built in hanger, for it's built in allen wrench.The thing I would like to see is a retractable spike set up.The bag turns out to be practical.A good size head can live on the unit and still fit!This was pricey for me, but worth the stretch. Thankyou
