Questions & Answers

William W : Is Adorama an authorized reseller of Sirui products?ANDREW R : Yes
Tong H : What is the difference between folded height and retracted height? Does the folded height of 13.39 inches include the mounted ballhead?NICK C : NoJustin B : Retracted height (set up to take a photo) is when the tripod is standing with all the legs shortened to their lowest height. Folded height (collapsed for storage/travel) is when the legs are folded upwards and encompass the center column. The folded height remains the same if you use the Sirui G-10X ball head which, when attached, also fits within the legs in folded position.ANDREW R : This tripod does NOT include a head. Folded Height 340mm/13.39in Retracted Height 400mm/15.75inin Folded height would be with the legs properly stowed and the column fully extended. Retracted height is with the legs in the deployed position (but not extended) and the column in it lowest position.
BLAIR W : how does this differ from the Sirui t 2205x? thanksJustin B : This one (T-1205X) has a shorter maximum height, folds down to a smaller minimum folded length and weighs less than the T-2205X. Other than that, they're the same.DAVID D : Go to the Sirui website and you can get all the specs of each model and compare to what you need most

Sturdy/ light/ compact

This little tripod does everything I wanted it to do in a light weight small sized package. Sometimes you need a grab am\nd go tripod to go with your grab and go camera. This is it.

Best Travel Tripod

Being tiny & 4'11" this tripod is perfect in everything! I've had expensive tripods that was good but this one is the lightest but very sturdy for my needs especially in travelling.

This has been great on my road trip

I bought a compact carbon fiber tripod to replace my large and heavy aluminum manfrotto. I have been hiking all over the place and finally can do long exposures to show the motion of water and not break my back.

Just what we were looking for!

LIght weight, collapses to size we can fit into our carry-on luggage. Great on table top or fully extended. Easy to open and close.

The SIRUI T-1205x Tripod is the perfect compact traveler's companion. With its easy folding design, it can be reversely folded into a more compact size (a length of 13.39 in) that will fit with one of the recommended SIRUI ball heads in the traveling case. Only weighing about 0.8 kg (1.76 lbs), the model can support up to 22 lbs of photographic equipment and stay very sturdy at the same time.

This 5-section 8x carbon fiber tripod also comes with a short center column that you may use interchangeably with the main center column for low-height shooting. Two adjustment settings are available that click in place automatically to lock the angle. The T-1205x is ideal for use with 35mm photographic cameras, DSLRs (even a Canon 5D Mark II with lens) and digital or conventional type video camcorders. The recommended ball heads are SIRUI G-10 and K-10X.
