📷 SIRUI AM-223 Carbon Fiber Camera Tripod: Mini Travel Tripod with Compact Desktop Design, 360° B-00K Ball Head, Arca Swiss Quick Release Plate, and 15KG Load Capacity Review

I've added this to my large collection of gear after recently shooting on the streets of Singapore; where I wanted more than a Joby Flex tripod but not a full travel tripod. That's great. It is beautifully built, looks amazing and works great. As others have mentioned it doesn't come with a hook but to be honest there isn't much space so I'm not sure what you want to hang. I think the hook description is for larger tripods. It's not something I would use on this little tripod. Overall a great…

I really like this tripod for small transport. Much better than other travel tripods I have. While it's not as big as a typical travel tripod, that's not really its purpose. But when used as a travel tripod, the stability it offers more than makes up for the lack of height on most of my shots. The legs are very strong. The weight is acceptable considering the solid bottom they offer. The head is fine, but not enough for a DSLR with a large lens. Consequently, I used a different, stronger head…

A carbon fiber tripod is outrageously priced, but we never found a use for it in our entire trip west. We love hiking and didn't want to lug around a heavy tripod to use with our Sony a7iii camera, so I was happy to use this little fella, but I've spent a lot of time setting it up that way on a number of occasions , as I wanted it. , and never really got it to work for me, so we finally gave up and got it back when we came back. At the narrowest foot setting we wanted/expected to use as it…

I think tripods are the most important part of my gear and I have five of them. 2 - Shirui, my second is the greatest. I bought this one because of the quality of the large tripod. This tripod is strong enough that I can use it with the Sony 200-600 zoom and still get the support I need to get sharp shots. It extends high enough that I don't have to kneel down to see through the viewfinder, and even when fully extended it's surprisingly durable. I was willing to buy another head for it and when

This is an exceptional tripod and ball head, especially for the money. Offers an excellent balance of foot size, weight and strength while maintaining a very comfortable fit. The lack of a built-in center speaker (which can be purchased separately, please note) is a positive for me, as the 'folded' size is much more compact and works with flip-up screens on DSLR/MFT these days on the chest. the height is easy. The carbon legs and leg locks are very good medium size, very good quality and…

[I bought AM-225 for vacation and am happy with it so far. I used to have a Sirui T-005x, Sirui's cheaper entry-level aluminum tripod. While it serves its purpose, the stability of this tripod made me look elsewhere. My setup consists of two Fujifilm cameras (X-T2 and X-H1) with their choice of lenses (10-24, 18-55, 50). -140, 23 1.4), so I only get 4.12lbs in the heaviest combo: X-H1 + 50-140mm + B-00k ball head. With a maximum load of 13.2lb, the AM-225 keeps me at exactly 1/3 the load…

If you're not familiar with Sirui (pronounced 'SUE-ray', believe it or not), this is a quality Chinese tripod. Brand. I use two other Sirui tripods and they are well built, reliable, easy to use and use quality parts. AM-223 is no exception. This is a good set of legs, durable and easy to use. I was particularly impressed by the excellent mechanism for adjusting the angle of each leg and the fact that the legs are detachable. The tripod comes with a set of indoor rubber feet and a set of 3/8…

This (AM-223) is a very short tripod, not a full size tripod, not something you use for family photos, not something you use to sit on the ground and take fireworks or sunset photos . Spring . if you don't want to bend over a lot. However, I am SOOO glad someone finally built a RELIABLE little tripod! I love hiking, backpacking, and photographing nature - flowers, animals, waterfalls, etc. My full-size tripods (Benro, Manfrotto, etc.) have great stability. Total pain to rock these guys in some…
