Great tripod, but needs a wider stance

The movement of this head is very smooth and has a nice consistence action to it. It is also build very well despite how light it is. My only complaint is that the width of the stance is not wide enough to offset the tension of the head movement and tends tip up or lift off the ground.

Great tripod, but needs a wider stance

By Thomas R.

The movement of this head is very smooth and has a nice consistence action to it. It is also build very well despite how light it is. My only complaint is that the width of the stance is not wide enough to offset the tension of the head movement and tends tip up or lift off the ground.

The Velbon Videomate 438 Aluminum Tripod is a 2.71lbs camera support with a fluid pan-and-tilt head. It can reach a maximum height of 5.03ft with the geared center column fully extended and it has a minimum working height of 4.15ft. This portable tripod folds down to 23.23". The Videomate 438 will support a maximum of 4.41lbs. This is an ideal tripod for today's lightweight video cameras.
