At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs.

Features

Overview: The Velbon GEO E540 is a high quality Carbon Fiber tripod leg assembly that can be used with cameras and camcorders up to 16 pounds. There is no head included in this package. A standard ball socket or pan head can be attached, using the 1/4" head screw.

Spiral-etched Carbon Fiber Legs: The 3-section legs on the GEO E540 are made of spiral-etched Carbon Fiber and Basalt. The upper legs sections have a diameter of 25 mm (1"). The quick lever leg locks can secure the legs at any length. The legs each have a length scale at 2.5 and 5 centimeters. The leg angles can be set at a semi-low or full-low position. The legs have 2-way adjustable tips, which provide the option of a metal spike for rougher terrain, or rubber foot for slippery surface.

Split Center Column: The GEO E540's center column can be manually lifted for an additional 12" of height. The center column is split into two sections, allowing you to remove one section for shooting at the semi-low or full-low positions. The tripod has a new design release lever with a safety lock to allow for quick and easy center column height adjustments.

Center End Hook: The GEO E540 includes a hook that screws into the end of the center column. You can hang your camera bag on the hook to give the tripod a lower center of gravity, thus provide more stability in windy conditions.

Pochette: The included vinyl pochette has multiple uses. When attached to all three legs, you can use it as a stone bag, to give the tripod additional weight for stability in windy conditions. When the shoulder belt is connected, the pochette can be used as a pouch or as a carrying bag for the tripod.
