OSN Acquires the USA Distribution Rights for Velbon Tripods and Accessories

LAVONIA, GA, October 15, 2010 (Press-News.org) "Tripods have 3 legs - that's it!" Yet since its inception in 1955, Velbon has served as a leading tripod innovator in the photo and video industry and has built a brand that is synonymous with superior quality, unparalleled craftsmanship, and infallible design. OSN, a distributor of digital accessories and professional and digital tripods, is excited to announce its acquisition of the US distribution rights for the Velbon brand and to give everyone ranging from the professional photographer to the casual picture taker access to Velbon's line of superior tripods and photographic accessories.

The Velbon product line currently includes three series of outstanding tripods to perfectly suit your requirements.

SHERPA-series: Velbon's SHERPA-series of tripods is the perfect series for photo enthusiasts or the professional looking for a lighter weight versatile tripod that will stand up to a heavy work load. They include a variety of 3- and 4-section tripods with Lever-Locking leg sections and a traditional panhead. This series is ideally suited for photographers with digital or lightweight SLR-cameras.

ULTRA-series: Velbon offers an innovative and unique travel solution with its range of ULTRA-series compact tripods. The unique leg design includes 5-section legs with a larger tube diameter, which allows for a compact load while travelling. And unlike other compact tripods on the market, the Ultra Series extends to the height of a full size tripod, thereby creating an extremely stable surface for your camera.

GEO-series: Velbon's new GEO-series tripods use a unique Carbon Fiber and Basalt composite material which gives the legs added strength and rigidity. They feature Spiral-Etched surfaces for smooth, fast extension as well as unique Lever-Locking leg sections. Each leg is fitted with an adjustable tip, giving the photographer the option of a rubber foot for grounding on slippery surfaces or a spiked foot for rougher terrain. Another unique feature includes Velbon's new Center Column Quick-Release Lever which allows for fast adjustment of the column height. The two-section center column can be split for low-angle set-up.

To complement these tripods, Velbon also offers a range of Ball Socket, 3-way, and Fluid heads and innovative accessories, including the Super Mag Slider for fine adjustments with Macro photography.
