Velbon has been well known with its Sherpa range for decades.
Strong and versatile tripods for both professionals and advanced amateurs.

The handle is mounted on the left which allows the user to keep their right hand free to operate the camera.
Most models in the Sherpa range feature a slanting tooth geared elevator for smooth adjustment and also a friction adjuster that enables tension adjustment of centre-column elevator.

The New-Concept Sherpa 803 has a Ball/Socket head and quick release plate made of Magnesium alloy. It also features a Hide Clamp within the center column. Where Tripod use is not permitted, the pull-out center column in combination with the Clamp makes for a useful separate camera support.
