Questions & Answers

Shopper : Does the W2204 come with a short center column or is it possible to purchase one?ANDREW R : The center column is in two sections. I believe that you can detach one section and thus shorten the center column.
ROBERT M : Can the legs be taken apart and cleaned like other tripods? Also can the seals be replaced if they wear out?ANDREW R : My understanding is that yes, the legs can be disassembled and cleaned. I believe that the manufacturer also includes instructions for seal replacement.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?MARGARET P : I purchased this tripod for a travel tripod. The size is important because it has to fit in the suitcase or carryon, I like that one leg comes off to use as a monopod. It is lightweight, the center column comes off for low angle shooting, there is a hook on the bottom of the center column to hang a weight to make it more stable in weather conditions, and it's waterproof.

Amazing Tripod!

I bought this tripod to lighten my load when travelling or just out and about. I've used a Slik U212 Deluxe tripod for over 20 years and it's still in perfect working condition - just getting a little heavy as I get older. I bought this Sirui tripod with a Sirui head and long lens mounting plate and LOVE them all. Really impressed with how well and tight the head locks down my Pentax 645Z with 400mm telephoto so it doesn't move at all. I was also sold on the monopod feature this tripod has so I don't have to add more gear to get a monopod out of the deal, which I've been wanting for quite awhile. Can't wait to use it more!

SIRUI W Series Waterproof tripods expand the capabilities of outdoor photographers and videographers like no other tripod. While most tripods warn against use in or near water and sand, the W Series welcomes it! The SIRUI designed WPS Waterproof Sealing System has a series of waterproof rings that prevent water from seeping into the tripod leg tubes and locks and causing damage. The SIRUI designed waterproof leg locks incorporate waterproof and leak-proof materials used in the automotive industry. The rubber locking components firmly grasp the legs without any gap when they are tightly locked - preventing water, dust or small particles from entering the legs or the locking system. This waterproof (not just water resistant) system lets you safely shoot in extreme environmental conditions (also ideal for use with spotting scopes and binoculars).

Equally impressive is SIRUI's ability to extend and contract the legs as smoothly as their standard models. And with 1/2 twist leg locks, setup and break down is fast and easy. Using the highest quality materials and precisely manufactured leg tubes lets SIRUI achieve uncompromising stability. The SIRUI W-2204 extends up to an impressive 70.9 in. (1800 mm) - vital when shooting in deeper water or to keep your equipment away from splashes and salt spray - while folding down to only 20.5 in. (520 mm). It weighs just 3.7 lb (1.7 kg.), but holds up to 39.7 lb. (18 kg). The redesigned Leg Angle Locks make adjustments faster and easier than ever before. Push the lock and it stays open until you select the desired position. Extremely convenient with wet or gloved hands! The slip-resistant rubber feet can be replaced with stainless steel spikes (included) for added grip and stability.

The SIRUI W Series tripod's unique leg mechanism lets you invert the legs 180 deg. - for compact storage and easy transport. And the split center column makes changing from standard center column to short center column fast and easy. One of the legs can be converted into a waterproof monopod! Ideal when a tripod is not allowed or when you're shooting in tight spaces. Attach the center column to increase the height of the monopod. SIRUI W Series Waterproof tripods are available with either economical Aluminum Alloy or Lightweight 10-Layer 100% Carbon Fiber legs.
