SIRUI Traveler X review

The SIRUI Traveler X is the lowest-priced verified pick at $135, and it is also the most compact: SIRUI lists a folded height of 364 mm (14.3 in) and a weight of 0.95 kg (2.09 lb). Its most unusual feature is a single twist lock that releases or locks all five leg sections at once, which cuts setup time compared with twisting four or five locks per leg. The kit comes with the AT-10 fluid video head, which pans 360° and tilts ±90° with a detachable handle, so it is better suited to travel video and time-lapse than to heavy stills setups. The center column inverts and splits into two sections for ground-level shots, and SIRUI's store lists a 6-year warranty on tripods. The limits are a 5 kg (11 lb) maximum load and a 59.8-inch maximum height, so it fits mirrorless cameras with small lenses best. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the tripod.
