The lightweight T-024SK Compact Tripod with VA-5 Fluid Head from Sirui consists of carbon fiber four-section padded legs and a fluid head that together weigh 2.2 lb. The legs can fold in the reverse to create a compact 15.7" in length (without head), and twist locks on the four-section tripod open with a simple turn to extend the legs along with the removable center column to a maximum height of 58.7".

The legs tighten with twist locks that adjust with a simple turn to extend the legs to a maximum height of 49.2" without the center column. When the center column is included, it allows you to drop the tripod to a minimum height of 5.5" without having to lift the column up. A built-in bubble level on top of the legs helps with balancing.

The VA-5 fluid head is installed on top of the tripod and supports compact DSLR or midsize cameras weighing up to 13.2 lb. It features dual safety locks on its quick release plate to prevent sliding. The head also features a single-stage pan handle. A TY-70A quick release plate with 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded mounting screws is included with the head.
