Our take on the Velbon EX-530/F

by David Brown

Attach your camera or camcorder to Velbon's sturdy EX-530/F tripod and rest assured it will be steady and secure for clear, blur-free photos and video. The adjustable legs and geared center column extend to a maximum height of 61-3/8 inches. Pan and tilt with ease, or flip up the quick-release plate to shoot in portrait mode. The lightweight aluminum frame is strong enough to hold up to 8.8 pound loads, yet light enough to strap to a backpack and take anywhere.

Highlights:

  • height range: 48-15/16" to 61-3/8"
  • supports cameras and camcorders weighing up to 8.8 lbs.
  • pan-and-tilt head with quick-release plate (QB-46) for mounting camera to tripod
  • camera plate turns 90 degrees for portrait-mode shooting
  • geared center column with crank adjuster for raising and lowering
  • aluminum construction
  • leg diameter: 0.91"
  • folded height: 22-3/8"
  • weight: 3.2 lbs.
  • warranty: 5 years
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee
