With a 6-year warranty and exciting and well-thought-out details, SIRUI is a highly interesting alternative to already established brands.
The two-way oil-damped video head VH-10, just like the SIRUIS tripod, maintains very high quality. A distinctive feature is that forged metal is used instead of cast parts. The control lever is flexible in both length (telescope) and angle, you can of course also choose whether you want a right or left grip. Panning is preset to provide as smooth and friction-free movement as possible but can also be locked. The tilt function is continuously adjustable with a large knob on the side and works in the range +70 / -90°. There are two spirit levels to see if the equipment is level. The VH-10 has a built-in counterbalance spring that withstands most of the binoculars on the market. The spring prevents front- or rear-heavy equipment from tipping uncontrollably. Additional balancing options are offered by the quick release plate which is 9cm long and comes with both 1/4 and 3/8 inch screws, meaning owners of certain binoculars (eg Kamakura, Opticron and old Swarovski HabichtAT 80) can have two attachment points, which effectively counteracts "rotating tube". The quick plate can be applied from both sides, another advantage. Comes with a sturdy padded bag and carrying strap, great for the traveler who wants to protect their equipment to the maximum.
