Happy owner of Sirui T-005X Aluminum Tripod with head, I have only one complaint: the safety pin on the ball requires suitable loosen the fastening screws completely to remove the mounting plate, as there no means to retract it manually. (Yes I quibble) The rest, for the price and weight: it is very beautiful material. The head is fine, light of foot and sure if (omit the last extension of the mast). The ability to place the ball directly on the foot without central extension is a great addition, as the hook counterweight under the tripod, and the cover, and the shackle, and construction ... Delighted with my purchase. 5 stars without hesitation.
