Description

The N-1205X Carbon Fiber Tripod from Sirui is an ideal tripod for anyone who needs to pack light and reserve the option to, at a moment's notice, slim down their camera's support system to just a monopod. The N-1205X features a leg that unscrews and attaches to a second included mounting plate to form a monopod. It also features a split center column for a fast and easy transition to low-angle shooting. The tripod is a versatile support, able to hold 22 lb of gear while reaching a maximum height of 60.6", and a minimum height of only 5.7". The legs fold upward 180° to achieve a relatively compact folded length of 15.7", even with select head models attached. The entire package stays very compact to fit comfortably in most carry-on bags and many backpacks. A custom carrying case with padded handle is included. The tripod's center column is reversible, and it splits in two, to convert to a short center column so that you can set up extremely close to the ground for ultra-low-angle shooting. With the center column split and the long section removed, you can set the legs at their widest angle (80°) and shoot from only 5.7" off the ground. -Easily converts into a monopod. -A split center column allows for quick and easy transition to low-angle shooting. -Carbon fiber construction offers a lightweight yet very sturdy build.
