Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Would the RRS 55H work on this tripod? And would suggest this or the manfrotto 055 for using with a sigma 150-600?

A: Yes. The Sirui W-2204 Waterproof Carbon Fiber Tripod is compatible with the RRS BH-55 head. The Sirui is waterproof, taller, and lighter weight than the Manfrotto 055. Both would be fine for use with the 150-600 lens.

Q: 2. Could the spike be removed and use with Gitzo or RRS craw feet for using on ice lake surface?

A: The feet are interchangable, but where other manufactures use 3/8-16 imperial thread (or 1/4-20 with 3LT), Sirui have used M10x1 on this tripod. To fit alternative feet (I was after longer spikes) I used the 3LT feet (for the smaller thread) and got a thread adaptor machined. You may be able to find an adaptor off-the-shelf, but be aware there are M10x1 and M10x1.25 standards which may both be labelled as M10 Fine .

Q: 3. I purchased one of these and the top came with a 3/8" to 1/4" adapter already installed. However, I cannot remove the adapter so that I can use it to mount a camera with a 1/4" screw mount. Has anyone else had this problem?

A: Yes, the threaded stud has a spring loaded 3/8" collar, when pressed down, reveals a 1/4-20" thread.

Q: 4. Does this come with a 3/8 to 1/4 adapter for the bottom thread?

A: Yes. The bottom is 3/8's with an adapter to make it 1/4. The top is 1/4 and it comes with an adapter to make it 3/8. I use the 1/4 adapter in the bottom and use the 1/4 thread in the top as it comes. I don't think I will need the 3/8 adapter for the top, but having them makes the product very versatile. The picture shows both adapters but you can't tell what they are.

Q: 5. Does this have screw in feet so I can use spikes?

A: No it does not sadly.

Q: 6. The unit ships with a 3/8" adapter and acorn nut installed on the top section. How do you remove the 3/8" threaded adapter on the top section to expose the 1/4"x20 threaded post?

A: The top thread on the Sunwayfoto ET-01 Carbon Fiber Tripod Extension Tube is reversible. One side is 3/8th inch and the other is 1/4 inch.

Q: 7. where is this tripod made at?

A: The Manfrotto 190go! Carbon Fiber M-Series Tripod country of origin is Italy.

Q: 8. What is the outside diameter of each of the carbon fiber tubes?

A: One section of the Sunwayfoto ET-01 Carbon Fiber Tripod Extension Tube is 24mm in diameter, and the other section is 20mm in diameter.

Q: 9. can the video bowl be removed?

A: Yes it can be. The 75mm bowl on the Benro Mammoth 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod is removable.

Q: 10. Will an RRS BH-40 Ball Head fit on this tripod?

A: The Sunwayfoto T3240CS comes with an embedded, non-end-user-removable ballhead. You can technically mount the RRS's BH40 on top of that, but that's highly irregular and not recommended.
