I added this to a growing arsenal of tripods...some that need to be retired. The Sirui 284 is the first of this brand, but it is definitely superior in weight/construction compared to my other "travel" tripods. Although some of my prior purchased travel tripods are lighter in weight, none offer the quality construction and features of the 284. I purchased the model that includes the SL220 extension, and particularly like that it is not integrated into the center column. Rather it is detached and can be kept in the bag, until needed.
Feature wise, the 284 has nicely designed leg angle locks, and uses twist leg extension locks--all very well constructed and light weight due to the carbon fiber. The max diameter is 29mm, so given the size, very reasonable. It's much more rigid compared to my other travel tripods. Because of the absent center column, it can be set up with the head only a few inches from the ground.
I combined this with a new Avella V1 ball head, which is equally a winner. Only 9oz with a 36mm ball, and very well made. At ~$20 ($8 coupon), it was a real bargain.
Combined, the 284+ballhead comes in at ~3.5 lbs+ a few oz for the extension. Very pleased with this and it will be my new travel setup. BTW, my other main options are larger/heavier carbon fiber units, but are much sturdier and great for more demanding uses and where lugging them around is not an issue. They weigh 6.5lbs and 7.5lbs with a gimbal and ball head, respectively.

Day one review:I've had bad luck with travel tripods in the past and resorted to using my Manfrotto 190XProB as my daily (main being an Innorel RT-90C which I can't recommend enough). Enter the AM-254, which weighs practically nothing and literally fits *inside* my Besnfoto PRVKE clone! Sure, this doesn't provide RT90C levels of absolute stability (e.g. it wobbles when you adjust physical controls on your camera with the ST200 center column extended, less so with it retracted, and likely very little without it), but it's significantly more stable than the 190XProB. Clip and spikes are a large bonus for real estate photography. 10/10 would recommend at this point in time (esp. when on sale).
