The Sirui R-4213X Reporter is an extremely strong carbon tripod from Sirui's RX series. This particular tripod is my all round workhorse and this would be my personal choice if I could only use 1 tripod. It distinguishes itself from other tripods due to its easy-to-remove mounting plate. Due to this unique feature, the mounting plate can be exchanged for the 75mm half-shell adapter or for the supplied center column. The stabilization hook under the head has a built-in Allen key to make changing extra easy.
The R-4213X has three leg sections that you can adjust by means of a twist lock. There is a variant with four leg sections, but the version with only three sections is even more stable.
It is a relatively high tripod with a maximum height, excluding the center column, of 150 centimeters. Do you use it in combination with the (optional) middle column de RX-66C , then the working height is even 213.5 cm
The legs can be placed completely horizontally so that a minimum height of only 10.5 centimeters is achieved. This is ideal for macro photography, for example. The maximum load capacity of this sturdy tripod is 25 kilos, so that you can also work with heavier combinations of camera & lens or professional video cameras. The R-4213X Reporter is equipped with rubber feet as standard, but steel spikes are included with which the tripod also has a good grip on soft surfaces.
