Ultrek – the ideal travel tripod solution from Velbon

This amazing tripod heralds the birth of an exciting new breed of travel tripods from Velbon. The UT-43D is extraordinarily compact when folded – only 29.5cm, yet thanks to its ingenious 6-section reverse-folding legs, it can be extended to become a practical full-height tripod as well as a low-level macro platform.

New innovations include a 2-section telescopic centre column and 6-section legs that fold by reversing through a full 180 degrees. This allows the maximum extended height to become 5.3 times the folded length!

The UT-43D tripod is the ideal travel solution as it packs small enough to fit into most bags and cases.

It comes complete with Velbon’s QHD-53D ball+socket head, which includes a DIN standard platform for easy attachment to your camera. A soft carrying case is also included.
