Review Summary

Rated 4 out of 5

Compact and a good value

I wanted a second tripod for hiking and selected this one. It was a good choice. It is pretty light (especially when compared to my full size RRS), reasonably stiff and has all the flexibility I need for my landscape work. I say reasonably stiff since you really can only use three of the four leg extensions. The fourth one makes the tripod too wiggly for my work. I like the fact that the legs fully flip over to make the overall small enough to fit in a carry on. The ball head is a good size for this tripod and I have shot successfully with it out to 200mm. It is Acra compatible. The center post is also very useful and the unit comes with a fixed center post if you want that little bit of additional stiffness. I doubt it makes that much difference though. If I have any gripe it is that I am spoiled by my full size tripod and I absolutely have to use this one on one knee (I am 6' tall). It works well for what I bought it for...a hiking tripod and for use for time lapse shots when I am working a scene. I would recommend it.

About Sirui ET-1204

How you capture the perfect shot often hinges on the stability and adaptability of your tripod. The ET-1204 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod with E-10 Ball Head from Sirui is engineered for photographers who demand both full-sized functionality and travel-ready portability. Crafted from high-quality 8-layer carbon fiber composite, this tripod offers exceptional strength and vibration-free stability while remaining lightweight.

The ET-1204's legs extend effortlessly, thanks to the flip lock leg locks, ensuring a quick setup and breakdown. Designed for versatility, the legs can fold up 180 degrees, achieving an ultra-compact form factor that is ideal for photographers on the move. The tripod's innate flexibility is further enhanced by three pre-set angle lock points on each leg, allowing for optimal positioning on uneven terrain.

For creative shooting, the center column is innovatively designed to be inverted, facilitating low-angle and macro photography with ease. A short center column is also included, providing additional rigidity for such specialized shots. The tripod's auto-lock mechanism for standard support angles ensures your setup is secure and ready for any photographic challenge.

The E-10 Ball Head is a testament to Sirui's commitment to precision and quality. It features separate adjustment knobs for panning and main locking, granting you maximum control over your camera's movements. The built-in bubble level aids in achieving a quick horizontal alignment, while the unique locking mechanism is capable of supporting loads up to 8kg (17.6 lbs), ensuring your gear remains secure even during the most demanding shoots.

The ball head's rugged metal locking knob is not only wear-resistant but also provides a solid grip for reliable adjustments. The precision-machined parts of the E-10 Ball Head guarantee smooth, vibration-free movement, allowing you to focus on capturing that perfect image.

Whether you're traversing rugged landscapes for the ultimate landscape shot or setting up for intricate macro work, the ET-1204 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod with E-10 Ball Head is a professional's ally, offering unmatched stability, flexibility, and portability.
