VS-443D
A uniquely inventive design makes Velbon’s most versatile tripod ever, offering a solution for every use
The Velbon VS-443D is a new-generation tripod that will prove indispensable to photographers from beginner to advanced, in both still imaging and video.
The extreme versatility of the Velbon VS-443D is an ingenious new mechanism that combines a geared/slide elevator with a 180-degree tilt arm and a 360-degree horizontal pan. It’s 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 locking nut and the arm is fixed again. Shooting straight down is a breeze too. No need to unscrew or remove any parts – simply tilt the multi-angle arm right over to point the camera downwards.
The tripod’s supplied Ball Head QHD-53D ensures a solid, secure mount for your camera. Its quick release plate QB-62 allows near-instant detachment of your camera for that spontaneous handheld grab-shot. The VS-443D is supplied with its own zip-up carry case with shoulder strap.

Ultra LUXi L II
One of Velbon's most popular travel tripods has been reduced to a great low price point
When you're travelling light and shooting on the run, your tripod has to pack down to tuck neatly into your camera bag, but should have a decent extended height. It has to be quick to extend and lock to capture those moments, and collapse quickly so you can move on quickly to the next stop.
And the finishing touch is a great price!
The Ultra LUXi L II is Velbon's newest solution to that challenge. With an extended height of 158cm (62 inches) it positions your camera at an near eye level. And yet its length when collapsed down is just 398mm (15.6 inches) – compact enough to fit easily inside your camera bag.
With 5 leg sections, Velbon's clever patented solution is to design the Ultra LUXi L II for a seamless movement of twist-to-unlock, extend and twist-to-relock which can take literally a couple of seconds for each leg. The centre column splits to allow shooting as low as 18.6cm. With the supplied QHD-51Q Ball and Socket Head, the tripod comfortably supports 3kg. And all at a low, low RRP of $159.00!
