Forged for Greater Strength
and Reduced Weight
Instead of using traditional casting methods typical of tripod construction, Sirui is a pioneer in using forging technology in manufacturing. During the forging process, the deformation and recrystallization of metal causes the structure of the metal to be more welded together and compact - greatly increasing its strength-to-weight ratio. This enables Sirui to build products with exceptional strength and durability, that are surprisingly light.
Forging ensures the integrity of metallic fibers so that it remains consistent inside & out. Good integrity allows for a longer lifetime as well as better performance. In fact, the forging process can create parts that are much stronger than those manufactured by any other metalworking process.

| The added strength of forging allows thinner, lighter components. |
Others’ cast components must be thicker and heavier to provide the same strength.

8 Layers of Carbon Fiber for Superior
Load Capacity
SIRUI is one of the few manufacturers who make their own
Carbon fiber leg tubes. The use of 100% carbon fiber and
8 cross pattern layers, makes SIRUI tripods and monopods
capable of supporting impressive load capacities, while
providing a lightweight product. In addition to providing high
strength and low weight, carbon fiber is also highly resistant
to temperature changes, friction (no need for lubrication)
and corrosion.
Custom Anodized Surface Treatment
All SIRUI products undergo a special anodized surface treatment that makes all metal surfaces highly resistant to wear and increases durability and weather resistance. Anodizing is an environmentally safe electrochemical process. This also prepares the surface to provide better adhesion of colored finishes. |
Temperature Tolerance Test
Photographers often work in extreme environments,
like blazing deserts or sub-zero mountaintops.
It is vital that your equipment works under these conditions.
That is why we torture-test all of our products - under conditions
that far exceed what most people will ever experience
(-40° ~ 212°F/-40° ~ 100°C). SIRUI is the first Chinese
manufacturer to continuously perform the 4-hour test
(equal to many years of use) on all products. |
Certified Longevity Tests For
Quality & Reliability
To confirm the quality and reliability of SIRUI tripods
(and our dedication to details), an independent testing lab (SGS) subjected the leg angle lock spring mechanisms to exhaustive longevity tests. The test reports show that even after
100,000 actuations, the springs continued to perform perfectly!
|
Retractable Steel Spikes
For added stability outdoors,
SIRUI 2/3/4 Series tripods and monopods have retractable stainless steel spikes, stored inside the slip-resistant rubber feet. |
Free Short Center Column
TX/N/M/SN/R3/R4 series tripods allow
low angle shooting for unique perspectives
and macro photography. And most models
include a free short center column
(excludes R series and T-005/025)
for added flexibility. |
Half-turn Leg Locks
To lock the legs of SIRUI tripods/monopods, we utilize twisting locks for maximum reliability and stability. Simply twist the rubber leg locks 1/2 turn and the legs will extend by themselves.
|
Precision Leg Tubes
The difference in diameter of N/TX/R/SN series tripod tubes is only 3 mm. Thanks to precision manufacturing, the legs open and close easily, while the small diameter difference provides added leg stability.
|
Non-Twist Center Column/Legs
All SIRUI center columns and
legs have keyed,
grooved channels, that prevent twisting
providing additional stability and safety
for your photographic equipment.
