A SIRUI N-series tripod is a sensible choice that consists of a good balance of quality, functionality and price. The tripod features a detachable monopod leg in which you can simply unscrew from the rest of the tripod, and assemble with the provided accessories kit into a functional, regular-sized monopod. It also comes with an extra short center column that is easily interchangeable with the principal center column, and allows for low-height shooting, especially for those who love doing macro. There are three adjustment angles available for the legs and each consists of an automatic lock mechanism. This tripod kit includes a high-quality padded traveling bag as well as a 6-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
The N-series tripods are ideal for use with 35mm and medium-format photographic cameras, DSLRs, and digital or conventional type video camcorders.
Highlights:
- Light-weight 8X carbon fiber tripod (for carbon fibre models)
- Detachable monopod with separate mounting plate and hand strap
- Short center column allows the tripod to reach extremely low positions
- Silicon twist locks
- Leg warmer on the monopod leg which facilitates handling in extreme weather conditions and help to protect the legs
- Three leg-angle settings (23, 52 & 80°)
- Minimized diameter difference between each section for greater stability
- Retractable stainless steel spikes at the bottom of each leg (for N2xxx models)
- Center column hook
- Well-designed padded traveling bag with sturdy shoulder strap for carrying
- 6-year warranty against manufacturing defects
Forging Technology
Instead of using the traditional casting processes that is typical of construction in the tripod industry, SIRUI is the pioneer to adopt the technology of forging, which can produce a piece that is stronger than an equivalent cast or machined part as the organizational structure of the metal is more welded and compacted together. In addition, forging enhances the integrity of metal grains so that they remain consistent and continuous, which allows for a longer life span as well as better performance that is unrivalled by that which is created by casting.
Anodic Surface Treatment
Anodizing surface treatment, produced by an electrolytic oxidation process to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of metal parts, is applied to increase corrosion and wear resistance, surface hardness, and enhance color durability.
