Sirui Pilot Series Tripod with GT5 Video head 

The Pilot Series Tripod with GT5 Fluid Head from Sirui is a great tripod for landscape photographer’s who are on the move and could benefit from being able to change position and adapt to creative angles quickly.

This tripod is compact in design and makes it easy to carry by folding down to 51cm whilst still being able to reach a maximum height of 148cm and its aluminium construction supports up to 3kg. 

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 which is easy to adjust on uneven terrain. 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, whilst 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 3/8 inch screw threads, a safety pin, and rubber pads for added security.
