AM-25S Video Tripod, 74.8" Professional Heavy Duty Tripod with Adjustable Damping Fluid Head for Camcorder, Cameras, DSLR, 360° Pan & +90°/-75° Tilt, Quick Release Plate, Max Load 22.0lb

An absolutely amazing tripod supports my heavy rig that I run for video shoots interviews and more. The quick release plate is a real benefit, So I can switch from on tripod to run & gun Easily. It has great height for productions where I need to see over a crowd. The adjustability on the fluid head is amazing.So that I can tune it to, however heavy my camera is, and it moves smoothly.

I'm a casting director and also offer audition recording services for actors. I use a top of the line consumer camera with an attached boom mic, so nothing too heavy, but this tripod could clearly handle much heavier professional gear. During auditions, and going from record session to record session, the height of the camera is constantly adjusting up and down to accommodate actor height differences, sitting, standing, etc. This has been a challenge for the lighter weight consumer tripods, even with the larger legs, but not enough to justify a big and bulky $600+ tripod geared more towards professional gear. However, the SIRUI AM-255 is the "just right" fit between consumer and professional needs, to include the price. The floating head is a bonus feature I never knew how much I needed and wanted. The added height from previous, less stable 72" options is really helpful with actors over 6 foot. My last tripod was a top price point among consumer offerings, much heavier duty than previous options, but there was an audible sound whenever tilting up and down that was very frustrating. Not so with the AM-255. All is quiet and smooth, and the unit is super stable, easy to raise and lower without risking pinched fingers while doing so. The size and weight are sturdy, but lightweight enough to travel with for remote projects. If I had a additional casting or recording rooms, I'd purchase this tripod again and again, but as one of my actor clients noted while admiring my new purchase - "This may go with you to the grave it's so well built!"

Sturdy and already working hard! great and sturdy, comes with carrying case and all looks sleek and professional! I recommend it 100%

Waaaaaay worth it! When this showed up, I had no idea it would be that heavy duty and well built.

Really good quality better than I expected

Love it

I am gradually upping my game in videography and photography. I recently purchased a 160mm lens for my digital camera. I quickly learned that my old tripod wasn't up to the task of carrying this beast of a lens, so I started shopping for a more sturdy tripod. I chose the SIRUI AM-25S Video Tripod because it is rated to carry a heavy camera, and it is tall enough for me (I'm 6'4", and I want my lens at eye level). I just received my SIRUI AM-25S Video Tripod and have yet to use it on an incident, but my confidence is high! If I feel otherwise after using it for a while, I'll amend my review. For now I'll say this is an amazing tripod and a shockingly good value.

I was impressed with the build quality, really sturdy tripod for the price, I’ve used other name brands that cost more and doesn’t feel this smooth.

価格が安かったのでもっと華奢なものかと思っていたら、がっしりしていました。

This tripod is sturdy and the fluid head is running smoothly, it would be good enough for amateurs and professionals alike. It is heavy so it is not a travel tripod, but if you need a sturdy non vibrating tripod and don't want to spend thousands this is it. I can't comment on the long-term reliability as I didn't have it for long enough but the quality appears to be good to last for a long time. It comes with a good bag. I use it for spotting scope that needs stability and no vibration due to its large magnification.

Llegó en tiempo y forma, todo bien en el envío, ningun problema, bien asegurado, la caja si llegó dañada, pero el producto intacto.

Un buen trípode, con un espectacular cabezal, pero no es transportable, un peso elevado, si lo quieres para tenerlo fijo, perfecto. Calidad precio 10 / 10. Por supuesto que hay mejores, pero por 130€ no.

Yup, they jacked up the price by more than double. It is a fantastic product though. Very complex but they made a very good tripod.
