Velbon Ultra MAXiSF Compact Tripod with PH-343 Ball Head & Case, Maximum Load 5 lbs.

ULTRA MAXiF, ULTRA MAXiSF, ULTRA LUXiF & ULTRA LUXiSF SERIES... These ULTRA SERIES tripods have a patented Direct Contact Pipe System which is a unique cross-section of the leg tubes that enables you to quickly lock and unlock the leg sections simply by a half-turn twist.

Thus allowing the user to extend and lock the tripod's legs at any point, without traditional flip locks, by using a unique "Quick Twist n' Lock" mechanism in the leg pipe. They also feature a patented Trunnion Shaft System where the main leg bolts are now positioned above the shafts.

This allows the telescopic leg tubes to slide further into each other and utilize the area previously occupied by the bolt. This makes the tripod more compact when closed and taller when extended.

All of these tripods have five leg sections so that when folded they are extremely compact. These well-built multipurpose tripods can be used at LOW-ANGLE and SEMI LOW-ANGLE with a SPLIT CENTER COLUMN, come equipped with a REMOVABLE HEAD, RUBBER FEET, TRIPOD CASE and a LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY.

ULTRA MaxiSF: : Weighing only 1.6 pounds, this five-section tripod reaches a maximum height of 48 inches and minimum height of 6.2 inches. When folded it is a compact 12.8 inches and has a load capacity of 5 pounds.
