Velbon's new GEO-series tripods use a unique Carbon-Fibre and Basalt composite material which gives the legs added strength and rigidity. They feature Spiral-Etched surfaces for smooth, fast extension as well as unique Lever-Locking leg sections. Each leg is fitted with an adjustable tip, giving Rubber or Spike options.
Also unique is Velbon's new Centre Column Quick-Release Lever which allows fast adjustment of column height. The two-section centre column can be split for low-angle use in Macro Photography etc.
Velbon GEO series tripods are supplied with a multi-purpose leg pouchette, which can be used for comfortable shoulder carrying and as a stone bag for added tripod support in windy conditions.

As well as their primarily carbon fibre construction, Velbon adds a small amount of Basalt to the raw materials when the leg tubes are constructed. Velbon use a pulling torsion during the manufacturing process, instead of layers which are used by other carbon fibre manufacturers. Pulling torsion is more effective than using layers, as all the materials become deeply combined with epoxy resin. Velbon adds Basalt to give more strength to the carbon fibre tubes and more resistance to the bending or crushing forces which may be applied when supporting heavy loads.

Velbon’s carbon-fibre legs are formed by a highly specialised French company which is well known as a high-tech supplier to the demanding aircraft and car industries. Velbon is proud to utilize their advanced French technology in its carbon-fibre leg production.
Velbon also use Magnesium alloy in their tripod body production, as it makes the tripod extremely light-weight and gives far more durability compared to a plastic or aluminum body. Velbon was a pioneer in the use Magnesium alloy, which it introduced into the tripod industry in the 1990s. Magnesium alloy is not easy to accurately mould and it is formed using high technology, controlled by Japanese engineers. Velbon offer their GEO-series tripods as a top class choice for advanced amateurs and professionals who own D-SLRs.
