Velbon Ultrek UT-43D Tripod plus QHD-53D Head

£149.00

This amazing tripod heralds the birth of an exciting new breed of travel tripods. The Ultrek UT-43D is extraordinarily compact when folded, yet thanks to the ingenious 6-section reverse-folding legs, it can be extended to become a practical full-height tripod as well as a low-level macro platform. New innovations include a 2-section telescopic centre column and 6-section legs that fold by reversing through a full 180 degrees. This allows the maximum extended height to become 5.3 times the folded length! The Ultrek UT-43D tripod is the ideal travel solution as it packs small enough to fit into most bags and cases. It comes complete with Velbon’s QHD-53D ball and socket head, which includes a DIN standard platform for easy attachment to your camera. More

Velbon Ultrek UT-43D Tripod Review

October 2011 - "When I heard that Lowepro were adding a range of optics bags that included a backpack specifically designed to give wildlife watchers a “hands-free, protective and supportive way to carry a large spotting scope and tripod in the field”, I was immediately interested.

Very small folded

Cons

Not for studio use

Best Uses

Tripods are a great creative tool in photography and although I already own a good carbon fibre tripod it just gets left at home too often because they are a pain to carry. This is why the Velbon Ultrek UT-43D Tripod plus QHD-53D Head is so great.

When this tripod arrived I could not believe how small the package was – even more amazed when I extended it to its full height. At just under 12" long when folded you can just throw it in your bag along with your other photo gear.

Like the best camera is the one you have with you, the best tripod is the one you actually bother to take with you.
