Have you noticed play in the legs when fully extended and panning? I'm considering this tripod but I'm worried about the legs twisting slightly when I pan on a higher resistance.
I just picked up the smallrig freeblazer. I wanted Sirui but with the fluid head it was out of my budget. I had a very heavy benro tripod for years but the one leg got hit and bent in on my last shoot so now it sticks and doesn’t deploy easily. The one thing I liked on the Sirui vs the Smallrig was how low you can go. Being more versatile adds value for me.
Both are good considerations, the smallrig is more affordable but seems less durable. The Sirui is built like a tank, but the price tag reflects that. Maybe I should do a comparison video?
Hope you feel better. Get well soon. U know the old solution: Lots of hot sliced lemon & raw honey mix drink! Rest, tell your boss u need two weeks of paid vacation cause you have some more camera demos to make & your throat needs a rest from all of the talking you have to do for the sound track. Certainly, he'd go for that? Right! 😎😎
@@keith-knittel I was looking at the Really Right Stuff brand when I came across the Robus brand. So far I think I've saved a boat load of money without sacrificing quality.
ordered mine yesterday! very excited to try it out :)
Awesome, let me know what you think of it!

Can't find it anywhere. Not even the Sirui site has it. Was it recalled?
Just checked the sirui site, I can't find it either! Not sure what happened
I can’t find it the legs . Idk why , the link doesn’t take me to the legs . But it’s advertised on their website but can’t purchase . Weird

Hey! can you swap the ball head out? Like change the 75mm to say 100mm?
You can change the head, but 75mm only
Hey Keith! Your demo convinced me I'd like two of these setups. Only problem, the pesos, rubles, the dollars that they cost. 😎😎
Sirui kind of reminds me of Sigma and Godox. They're the best bang for your buck companies.
Agree, good value
Just been told by Sirui that this tripod will not be available in the US anymore.
why??? :(
They did not tell me….maybe has something to do with another large tripod manufacturer.
Love my Robus RC-5570 and Manfrotto pan/tilt fluid head.
Have never used the robus, will have to check it out
