About Velbon UT

UT Series
The ultimate in flexibility and innovation provides an incredible expansion/contraction ratio of 5x.

How compact can a tripod be when folded up? The UT Series is the answer that represents the maximum pursuit of all design possibilities. The legs consist of 6 sections, meaning that the length of each leg is shorter when folded.

Legs can be folded by reversing 180 Degree , giving the UT Series tripod the form of an acrobat. Capable of being opened to eye-level height, making this tripod ideal as a travel companion.

The expansion ratio - the relation between the size when folded and maximum expansion - is an astonishing 5x. While the UT tripod is normally used with a ball head, a version with a 3-way pan-and-tilt head is also available.
