The T-1005 Aluminum Travel Tripod with E-10 Ball Head from Sirui is a versatile, yet lightweight and portable travel tripod with a maximum height of 64.2" and a load capacity of 17.6 lb. It's reverse-folding legs allow it to fold down to a compact 16.93", and it weighs a mere 4 lb, making it easy to carry along wherever it may be needed. The T-1005 comes with a full center column and a short center column, which can be easily swapped out for low-level shooting perspective or macro photography.
For situations where full tripod may be too bulky or slow, like when shooting sports or wildlife, one leg comes unscrewed and converts into a full-featured monopod. A center column segment can be attached for a maximum height of 58.7", when combined with the included E-10 head.
The E-10 ball head features and Arca-type quick release receiver with plate, a panoramic base with and independent locking knob, and a numbered scale for precision panoramic imaging. Additionally, the head includes a bubble level for quick alignment and a 90° notch for vertical camera orientation.
