Questions & Answers

ROBERRT L : will this fit in the bag with a ballhead attached?Anthony S : No. It will most definitely not fit in the bag with a ball head attached which is very frustrating! I understand there are all sizes of heads which could be attached to the tripod but at least leaving room for a "normal" sized ball head would have been nice.

Rated 5 out of 5

Perfect for landscape photography

This has everything a taller photographer needs for the perfect outdoor/landscape tripod, and nothing you don't. It is rock-solid stable with a simple flat platform and set-screws for the tripod head rather than a wobbly center column. The legs are big and solid yet light. The collar locks go from open to locked tight in less than a full turn. With only 3 leg sections and two collar locks per leg, it's much faster to set up and take down than 4 section legs. This is a lot more important than you'd think; in the field the extra time really adds up. Finally, it's tall enough with legs extended to keep the camera at eye-level for photographers over 6' tall, even when shooting downhill. Your back will thank you after a day of shooting.

A tripod better on the back.

This tripod balances all the criteria I needed in a tripod; reasonably priced, it keeps long lenses like my 500 and 600 MF steady, is light enough to carry comfortably and the legs twist lock with only a short turn. One of the most overlooked criteria is the maximum height of a tripod, and this one is just right, allowing me to stand upright without leaning, a real advantage as I wait for wildlife action to occur. With my older, shorter tripod backache was a frequent problem. Bird photography with the camera aimed upward is now much easier with the taller Sirui R-4203L tripod.

The Sirui R-4203L 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod is a heavy-duty tripod model that is equally well-suited for photography and professional video capture - especially for field production, considering its light weight. The R-4230L reaches a maximum height of 70.8" and supports heavy loads up to 44 lbs, yet weighs just 5.3 lbs.

This is a tripod you'll want to take on location as you work with heavy large-format cameras, or on wildlife photography expeditions as you mount heavy telephoto lenses to gimbal heads. With retractable stainless steel spikes in its rubber feet, the R-4203L is suitable for a variety of terrain types.

The tripod features automatic leg-angle lock mechanisms; these can quickly set the legs independently to two different angles, for creating a level camera support on uneven ground. The carbon-fiber tripod also features a large range of heights: from its 70.8" maximum, the support achieves a minimum height of only 3.5", thanks to its lack of a center column.

The tripod plate is replaceable, making the R-4203L compatible with optional 75mm or 100mm bowl adapters (not included) for ball-leveling heads. That way you can use the tripod with a traditional pan/tilt head for medium to large camcorders and digital cinema rigs. There's also a built-in bubble level on the tripod to ensure you've got a reasonably level base before you mount a head.
