superior after much back and forth and looking for a cheap and lightweight travel tripod for my 70d and EOS M, I, despite the partially negative comments here and on the net, dared the trial and ordered the SIRUI T-005KX. (Which reminds me auffält the lt it. Item Description 005x and my article is 005KX)
But now on, it arrived today and I have of course immediately unpacked and tried.
Everything you bezügl in advance. the light weight of the stand, the compact pack size and easy handling, as well as the easy-to-use but great ball head read, I can fully confirm + TOP +
It can be built up quickly, the click notches on the legs above have a great resistance and feel very valuable,
Ball head and ARCA panel let you adjust well and fit (by the way is my quick release plate provided with a rubber coating Now to the "important" the stability and size or tripod height
- Height with extended center column is 130cm + camera, with a height of 178cm optimum height to be able to still use the camera's viewfinder for me.
- Stability I find contrary to the partial opinion as absolutely fine, my SIRUI is the 70d and the Tamron 17-50 2.8 (ie no lightweight) very well.
What to pay attention, but I did with other travel tripods I eg at trade fairs times tested've noticed that you have to let the camera swing out, have to wait and then "burn" via remote release about 2-3 seconds or the self-timer on 10 instead of 2 sec. to program.
I'm really excited to have for this price with ball found such a high-quality processed travel tripod in the set, if I had not already bought it, I would buy it again immediately !!!

PS. The screw of the tripod plate can be as noted by some users only by coin or long hex tighten, certainly a disadvantage. However, there is the possibility to replace the screw and replace it by a screw with "hanger" - so even this supposed disadvantage is to "fix" quickly and cheaply
