[1.36 lb] This tripod is very well made with great design. It folded really small and I measured it only 13.6 oz with the ball head. (This is less than the weigh specified in the B&H spec.) The make is very much to the detail. It also comes with an almost luxury packaging (make me think of my iPhone.) This is my 2nd Sirui tripod. I'm really surprised how good it is . Sir will definitely be added to my preferred tripod brands. Btw, it comes with an Arca Swiss compatible ballhead which is why I decided the purchase originally. The bullhead is also well made for light duty. I bought it for my m43 olympus/sony and it is very stable and usable. Since it is so light, it is also perfect to use to against the shoulder/chest (like using a shoulder stock.) BTW, I would not compare this to any Mefoto tripod unless Mefoto can come up with a 13.6 oz tripod first. (The lightest Mefoto tripod I can find is Day Trip which is 1.8 lb. And I don't expect a 13 oz tripod can be as stable as 1.8 lb one.) And I'm much more comfortable and likely to carry a 13.6 oz one.

[Aluminum] I bought this to hold a webcam for online teaching, and I am very impressed with the quality and adjustment options. It is well made, sturdy, and easy to use in several configurations.

[1x 1/4"-20 Male] This is the tripod you actually carry with you on a trip when other tripods are too large or heavy. While it is great to take a close-up picture of small objects, I also used it for a long exposure of a stream in the forest or indoor pictures, leaning against a wall or column in buildings where tripods are not allowed. As with all Sirui products, this tripod is beautifully made and it easy to adjust. Even though high ISO's of modern sensors and VR make hand-held shots in low light possible, there are times when you want to keep ISO at a reasonable level and use a slow shutter speed while getting the best image quality. This is one of the best table top/small travel tripods I have used.

[Aluminum] The Sirui 3T-35K is extremely well made and offers a very sturdy and portable support for most cameras.  It folds and collapses to a very handy few inches in size and is capable of supporting even my Canon 80D, which weighs about two and half pounds with lens.  I should point out that is in a vertical position with the lens pointed horizontally.

Two drawbacks in this design is that the leg spread is a relatively small diameter, and if you tilt the lens to throw off the center of balance, the support is less stable.  That was easy to compensate as I added some home-made extension which I hold in place with hook & loop cloth tape.  The second concern that I see mentioned by other reviewers is that the single-knob that controls panning, also loosens the ball-head.  This shouldnt be a problem for most photographers, because this support isnt really designed for panning, but for still photography and for that it is a terrific little tripod that Im very happy to have in my kit.

Only negative was the packing.  I love B&H, but please... tell you shipping guys that putting a box into a soft envelope doesnt work!  While the 3T-35K arrived without even a scratch, the nice box was crushed... good testimony to the durability of the product, but if I had wanted to make this a present for someone, a crushed box would not have served well.

Lastly, Surui really knows how to build and present their products. Handsome looking carton, very nice zipper bag, and the fit and finish, materials, and machining are all outstanding.

Thanks to both Sirui and to B&H for their products and pricing.

[Ball Head] Comfortable with many functions, anyone should have one!

[Ball Head] This tripod feels great. Light and compact.
Solid construction. Really happy with this!

[Ball Head] Encantada con este pequeo trpode de Sirui, es fuerte y muy prctico.

[Aluminum] After spending a few minutes with this tripod to get acquainted with its features, I have to say that it is a seriously impressive device.  The design and engineering are amazing, and the build quality seems to be extremely good.  All pieces are metal, move/slide smoothly, and lock up tight.  This is the last mini tripod I will ever need.

[Ball Head] I have the Switchpod and, the Joby GorillaPod and this has become my every day table tripod. I really love how portable and light weight it is, but strong at the same time. Have handled my Sony A6400, with the rig, and Sigma 16mm lens with a light with no problem.

[1x 1/4"-20 Male] Small and light with the ability to hold a lot of weight for its' size. Must be used on flat surface. Very handy for transport. Well worth the money if it stays together. I haven't had that much use with it.
