SIRUI TX-series tripod is the perfect compact traveler’s companion. With its easy folding design, it can be reversely folded into a more compact size that will fit with one of the recommended SIRUI ball heads in the traveling case. The T-1204X, for example, weighs about 0.8 kg, but can support up to 10 kg of photographic equipment and stay very sturdy at the same time. The tripod also comes with a short center column that you may use interchangeably with the main center column for low-height shooting. Two adjustment settings are available that click in place automatically to lock the angle. A high-quality padded traveling bag accompanies the tripod, as well as a 6-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
The TX-series is ideal for use with 35mm photographic cameras, DSLRs, and digital or conventional type video camcorders.

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.
