Sirui Video Tripod AVT-12

Sirui Video Tripod AVT-12 - supports equipment up to 10 kg

A 75 mm bowl head with fluid damping gives the Sirui Video Tripod AVT-12 a clear video focus, while its 10 kg maximum load also accommodates a substantial camera setup. It’s aimed at videographers who need controlled movement as well as photographers who value a steady platform for carefully composed frames. The three-section carbon-fibre legs and middle spreader make up a substantial support system, with flip locks for adjusting leg length. For video, the head pans through 360° and offers a broad tilt range, useful when following a subject or reframing a scene without moving the tripod. The damped movement also suits static and moving shots where abrupt head motion would be distracting. For landscape photography, a stable base helps keep a carefully arranged composition in place. Long exposures and night or astro photography benefit from the same steady support, particularly when a small shift in framing would be noticeable. The AVT-12 weighs 3.3 kg, so it remains portable enough to take on location, though it’s a full-size support rather than a compact travel tripod. Manfrotto and DJI RS plates are supported, which is useful for crews working with those plate systems.

On location

• Three-section carbon-fibre legs: The legs combine a carbon-fibre construction with three sections for height adjustment. Their diameter ranges from 14 mm to 20 mm, providing a substantial leg structure.
• Flip locks: These locks secure the leg sections and make height adjustments straightforward between setups. They’re useful when you need to change the tripod’s stance as the ground or framing changes.
• Middle spreader: A spreader links the legs at the centre of the tripod. It helps keep the legs set in relation to one another as you arrange the support on location.
• 75 mm bowl head: The bowl design is paired with fluid damping, giving the head controlled movement for video work. It’s the part to look to when a shot needs a smooth pan rather than a fixed frame.
• 360° panning and broad tilt: The head pans all the way around and also has a wide tilt range. That range is useful for following action or changing the angle without repositioning the whole tripod.
• Plate compatibility: The tripod works with Manfrotto and DJI RS plates. That gives users of those plate systems a direct way to work with the AVT-12.

Height and load

The AVT-12 adjusts from 85 cm at its minimum to 185 cm at its maximum, covering low and standing-height setups. It folds to 90 cm, so allow for a full-length bag when planning how to carry it. The 10 kg maximum load covers the camera equipment placed on the tripod, while the tripod itself weighs 3.3 kg. Those figures make it a substantial support rather than a small pack-away option.
