eh i think no problem...
your max weight now is less than 5kg, but are you sure about this max weight not increasing in future? if you get a better one i.e. k20x you won't have the need to upgrade when your gears change around.
what are you planning to mount on your tripod?
some of the seniors here recommended that i should get a tripod that goes to at least my eye level when the centre column is not fully extended.. especially if you're shooting things like landscape. the T1004x or 1005x will be too short for you..? or not?
have you gone to the sirui website? i think the graph there is actually quite useful as a gauge..

or else a simple search for tripod recommendation will show the following thread:

T1005x is 5 section. T1004x is 4 section. 4 section is definitely more stable than 5 section.
T1005x folds 4cm shorter, but thinnest leg is thinner, so less stable.
T1004x's thinnest leg section is 16mm, which is quite thick for a travel tripod. Highly recommend.
Both tripod weighs the same.
I recommend the T1004x. I am selling mine in BnS, coz I upgraded. ;P

To what bro?
The T series is more preferred than the R series becos of it's low angle capability. You might be surprise how low people goes to, to shoot landscape.
@Bonyra: have you tried shooting at very low height and angle? It gives a brand new perspective. Worth a try
is it worth getting G20 aover G10?
roughly how much is G20?
1 time pain is better than 2 time pain...

TS, if you are 175cm tall, your eye level should be about... 165cm?
Deduct:
- height from viewfinder to base of camera
- height of tripod head
and you get the (required) height of the tripod when legs are fully deployed.
If you are willing to bend a bit to look through the viewfinder, then the tripod can be a little bit shorter
I prefer not to get 5-section tripods unless I really need the tripod to be very short when folded.
This is your personal preference.
But it kinda makes sense, I only stopped upgrading after my 3rd tripod. Wished I had bought it earlier and save myself some money and time in the BnS
bro, thanks for the sound advice.
think i'll go for T1004X, and decide which whether to get G20 or KX10.
any recommendation?
