Velbon Tripod Ultra Compact UT-43Q
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 180º, 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.
