Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. 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: 2. Does this tripod require a Benro GDHAD1 Geared Head Spacer to use it with a geared head?

A: Yes, the Benro Mammoth 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod does have a large base diameter of 75mm. If you are using the Benro GD3WH 3-way geared head it has a base diameter of 52mm. Since the tripod base is larger than the geared head, some knobs on the gear head may hit the tripod. The Benro GDHAD1 Tripod Spacer is a good option to use to make sure no knobs hit the tripod.

Q: 3. What is the folded length?

A: The Sunwayfoto T2540CT Traveler-Series Reverse Folding Carbon Fiber Tripod Folds down to 17.7" / 45 cm.

Q: 4. 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: 5. Does it have a hook on the bottom of the center column to hang a bag?

A: I'm sorry, no.

Q: 6. What is the actual load capacity of this tripod - the description has different numbers - 33 pounds and 50 pounds - which is correct?

Q: 7. Is this Tripod compatible with the Benro GH2 Gimble?

A: Yes, the Benro GH2 Aluminum gimbal head will adapt nicely to the Benro mammoth carbon fiber tripod.

Q: 8. 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.

Q: 9. Does this have screw in feet so I can use spikes?

A: No it does not sadly.

Q: 10. Can I attach the This XPRO 3-Way, Pan-and-Tilt Head to this tripod?

A: The Manfrotto 190go! Carbon Fiber M-Series Tripod has a 3/8"-16 stud and the Manfrotto XPRO 3-Way, Pan-and-Tilt Head has a 3/8"-16 socket. So you could attach the head without an adapter.
