Velbon Tripods reviewed by Rodney, Sales Director of Firstcall Photographic
The most annoying thing about buying a tripod is, because of its design and functionality; eventually you will break it or loose one of its components. We often find tripod importer s approach to after sales service less than satisfactory. That is why we recommend Velbon tripods. The importer, Intro2020 Ltd. employ a full time technician (Trevor) who services their tripods and keeps spare parts for every Velbon tripod going back 10 YEARS.
If your tripod needs service, you will get it - quickly! It is no wonder that Velbon have 60% of the UK tripod market. Their tripods build-qaulity is excellent and their range is wide enough to satisfy even the most demanding photographer.
At Firstcall, we stock three ranges of Velbon tripods:
CX range
A budget, lightweight yet sturdy photo/video range with three way pan-tilt head and quick release camera platforms. All feature Velbon s unique self-adjusting centre column friction control, which prevents damage to expensive cameras if the column is suddenly released. Each has brace and gearing where you can lock the column at any height.
Sherpa range
A geared photo enthusiast range with 3 section, extra long legs. They have reversible pan heads that can be removed and reattached to the bottom of the centre column for low angle shots (with the 600/750 models having spread leg capability).
DV7000 range
This is a heavy weight video tripod with two way fluid head. It has gears and bracingand with the thick, 29mm legs and 64 inch height is a reliable, workhorse tripod.
