## Overview

The Sirui K-20X Aluminium Tripod Head combines aerospace-grade CNC-milled aluminum construction with a robust 25kg load capacity and a 360° panoramic base. Featuring an advanced multi-lock safety system, friction control, and Arca-Swiss compatibility, it delivers smooth, precise adjustments and rock-solid stability for professional photographers on the move.

## Description

The Sirui K-20x Ball Head is manufactured with extreme precision and the utmost care. The high quality of the tripod heads is ensured by high-end CNC milling and a high quality surface finish. The KX series has a maximum tolerance of 0. 01mm between the ball and the bearing. The K-20X works accurately and smoothly. With a load capacity of up to 25kg, it has a firm grip on your camera. The base can be rotated by 360°, ideal for panoramic shots. The locking knob for the ball can be limited using a scale in the end stop. This means that you can adjust the movement of the head to your individual camera. For example, this prevents excessive release of the ball and unintentional tilting of the camera. The Safety Lock System prevents quick release plates from slipping. The release plate mount is compatible with the Arca Swiss system and allows various plates to be used.

Review: Smooth, steady 'n good looking! - I bought the petite Sirui K-20X to mate to an equally petite SIRUI T-1205X 5-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod , aiming to create the perfect travel and hiking tripod. BUILD: Most parts are machined aircraft aluminum and stronger and lighter than cast components. This 90mm tall head has an attractive satin (semi-gloss) enamel and appears durable. Without a plate, it weighs 395g, slightly heavier than the similar sized SIRUI G-20X (320g). The base is 68mm in diameter and tapped for a 3/8 inch tripod mount thread. CONTROLS: The larger the ball the smoother the roll and the finer the control, and this 38mm ball is extra jumbo for a small head. Operation is simplicity incarnated: a single large knob controls drag and lock. Ball action is liquid smooth but locks tight with my EOS 6D and EF 70-200 4L IS USM, even at a steep angle in the drop slot. The K-20X also has an independent panning function with lock knob. Action is smooth but highly dampened. Definitely designed for carefully positioning for stills and not for action or video panning. CLAMP: The 55mm Arca-compatible clamp sports silky knob action and safety pin with push button release. The pin lodges in the bottom of milled out plates, preventing the works from siding out if you neglect to tighten down. The spring loaded pin retracts if your plate isn't milled. It's a simple but effective safety feature. Unfortunately, this clamp is incompatible with safety stop screws on small plates--60mm or less--due to a lack of grooves on the clamp's top. The workaround is to remove the safety stop screws. Safety stop screws on larger plates works fine but, of course, must be top loaded. My 90mm long RRS L-plate is fine since screws have plenty of clearance on both sides of the clamp. The bubble level on the side of the clamp is larger than most head levels and handy if you shoot panoramic photos: level the tripod with the ball, mount a nodal plate and pan clamp topside and you're ready to go. PLATE COMPATIBILITY: All of my Arca compatible plates--RRS, Sunwayfoto, CamAdapter, Promedia and Kirk--can top load and tighten down securely. My 140mm Neewer nodal plate also fits perfectly. As mentioned above, safety stop screws on smaller plates need to be removed. The included universal plate, while of decent quality, lacks a hand strap loop or anti-twist flange, so I suspect most buyers will prefer a fitted or dedicated plate on their camera or lens foot. USING THE K-20X: With a little practice, I could easily top load the clamp by feel in the dark: open clamp, sit camera with plate in the slot and tighten. The mounting process takes 5 or 6 seconds. I wish the clamp knob were a little larger but the ribbed rubber makes for a sure grip. Fast free form head adjustments were also a snap: loosen the tension knob while looking through the viewfinder, move it any direction and lock when satisfied with the composition. I found the K-20X/T-1205X combo ideal for hiking, travel and shooting waterfalls and coastal waves with my 6D MKII and 24-105 4L IS USM or EF 70-200 4L IS USM. One to 30 second exposures were pin sharp. LAST BLUB: All in all a well designed lightweight ball head: excellent fit and finish, smooth operation, rock steady and reasonable price. Paired with a SIRUI T-1205X tripod, it becomes a kickin' travel and hiking combo: light, compact and easily slips into a carry-on.
Review: Excellent ballhead - I've owned the sirui k-20x ballhead for nearly a year now and really like it. The heaviest equipment I've used on it is a canon 7d and 70-200 f/4 L lens with a 1.4 extender. I bought it to upgrade the head on my dolica carbon fiber tripod i got at costco and it fits on there nicely. It comes in a little soft fabric bag which is nice although the tripod/head fit into my tripod bag attached so i don't really use it. There are 3 knobs: 1 for tightening the plate, one for the ballhead movement and one for panning, as well as a screw in the larger knob for adjusting the friction of the ball. I have found the ball action to be quite smooth and stays in place when locked down with no creep; also the knobs are easy to find and adjust in the dark. The price is nice and the finish still looks as good as when i bought it. It comes with one quick release plate although one of these days I really should pick up another one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is it. Look no further.
*by S***. on September 16, 2016*

This is it, the sweet spot of quality and value. It works smoothly, beautifully, at a price a third or less than comparable models from other models. There is a gradual release of pressure on the ball so you can make adjustments without letting the grip go completely, like with some ball heads. Very few people will need anything bigger, but if you do, Sirui has that for a few dollars and ounces more. You can find something cheaper but it won't work nearly as well. You can find things with more exotic designs for 3 or 4 times the price, but if they're better it's so marginal it doesn't matter. Like I said, this is the sweet spot of quality and value.
