Velbon UTC-53II Compact Travel Tripod AZ Carbon Fiber 5-Section Ultra-Light Quick Shoe Ball

This carbon fiber model from the UT series boasts incredible compactness and high performance thanks to its reversible and ultra-locking legs. It boasts excellent torsional strength and is highly portable and storable. By inverting the legs 180 degrees and folding them, and storing the dedicated ball head between the legs, we have achieved a compact, high-performance design that was not possible with conventional tripods. The telescoping ratio is an astonishing 4.3 times (collapsed length: 350mm, maximum extension: 1510mm). Despite its compact size that makes it easy to carry, it offers high performance that is fully compatible with full-frame SLR cameras. The high-end model free-angle head is equipped as standard, and is made with many machined aluminum parts. It also features a quick shoe mechanism and torque adjustment mechanism. ■Total height (including EV): 1510mm, ■Total height (without EV): 1297mm, ■EV slide distance: 213mm, ■Minimum height: 295mm, ■Collapsed length: 350mm, ■Weight: 1325g, ■Recommended load weight: 3.5kg (maximum leg load: 12kg)
