Velbon's Compact Tripods 'Heighten' the Standards in the Photo Industry

LAVONIA, GA, November 12, 2010 (Press-News.org) In today's markets, consumers often demand the latest and greatest in advancement, but want to maintain a compact size. Following this cue in many industries, including the cell phone, computer, and most importantly, photo industry, Velbon, a leading tripod innovator, has created a series of tripods that achieves the ultimate in compactness to height ratio while still maintaining a stable camera support. With its unique leg locking design, Velbon has created the ULTRA-series of tripods, which maintains a fully-extended height at least 4 times greater than the folded length, a remarkable standard for a high-quality and durable tripod.

The ULTRA REXi L and ULTRA VOXi L tripods, which offer the greatest compactness to height ratio in the ULTRA-series of tripods, are constructed with 5-section legs, allowing for a fully extended height of 60.2" and 60.6" respectively and a folded height of 14.2". While there are many compact tripods on the market today, the 1.18" and 1.06" tube diameter of the ULTRA REXi L and ULTRA VOXi L respectively gives these compact tripods a huge step above the competition. The larger leg diameter provides these tripods with extra strength at the leg joints, a part where there is commonly weak points on the traditional compact tripod. And with a simple twist and release leg locking system, these tripods are easy to set-up for stunning photos while travelling. With the ULTRA REXi L and ULTRA VOXi L tripods, extremely low-angle shooting positions are also possible; simply open the legs to their full wide angle position and detach the lower part of the center column for the perfect low angle shot.

Velbon's ULTRA-series of tripods can be paired with any one of Velbon's superior heads.
