The Sirui pilot tripod with CT04 Fluid Head allows wildlife photographers to have the benefit of using a tripod that is versatile and compact.
The tripod is easy to setup on uneven terrain and position in various angles, to achieve the correct shot. This tripod is a great travel companion with it’s ability to fold down to 43cm,whilst still being able to reach a maximum height of 148cm.It can hold a maximum load capacity weight of 3kg, with a strong aluminium frame.
Legs
The four-section legs can be independently adjusted via carbon fibre twist locks so that you can find the desired length for each one, whilst the semi-automatic flip locks offer three angles for each leg in case you find yourself on uneven ground. Simply twist the rubber feet to extend metal spikes, adding further stability when needed.
Centre Column
The centre column’s triangular shape allows for an even more compact and portable profile for the tripod when folded down. The column can also be inverted to allow for low- or high-angle shooting, while still maintaining its same level of adjustability. A ballast hook provides the option for greater stability, and the column locking knob can be rotated a full 360° to ensure it is secured in place. An additional short centre column is included to further increase your access to low angle or wide leg shooting.
Base
The base features an adaptive threaded screw that can switch between 3/8 inch or ¼ inch thread with a simple press and turn, making it easier to fit heads or cameras of your choice and faster to switch between them. A built in ¼ inch and 3/8 inch accessory port accommodates a wide range of additional pieces of equipment.
Fluid Head
The fluid head features a freely adjustable handle, index marks around the base, and a bubble level for precise control and adjustment. It can rotate a full 360° with a tilting range of +90 to -60°. A separate tilt lock, plate movement lock, panorama base lock, safety lock, and handle lock ensure your equipment stays in place for improved shooting and peace of mind. The quick release plate includes ¼ inch and 3/8inch screws, a safety pin, and rubber pads for added security.
