The unique design of this model makes it Velbon's most versatile tripod ever. The VS-443D has an ingenious new mechanism combining a geared/slide elevator with a 180° tilt arm and a 360° horizontal pan. It is quick and easy to use: a single twist of the grip at the end of the multi-angle arm loosens both the tilt and rotation, and when the arm is in the desired position, a twist of the grip in the opposite direction re-engages the lock and the arm is fixed again. Multi-angle legs provide a choice of 25°, 45° plus 75° for low-angle photography. If an even lower position is required, a twist on the end grip of the arm can turn the camera upside-down so its viewfinder hovers just above the ground.
The QHD-53D ball & socket head ensures a solid, secure mount for your camera and its quick release plate (QB-62) allows easy detachment. The VS-443D is supplied complete with carry case.
