About the Velbon Videomate 538/F

David Brown

Designed for smaller video cameras, the Velbon Videomate 538/F tripod features a fluid panhead that lets you pan and tilt with smoothness and precision while you record your daughter's performance in the school play or your son's play on the football field. The 3-section legs are easily adjusted and locked into place, for stability and security on almost any surface. The geared center column makes it easy to raise up the camera to shoot from higher angles without having to readjust the legs. And the quick-release plate makes it easy to detach your camera in order to fold up this lightweight tripod for moving on to the next event worthy of recording for posterity.
