July 21, 2008: Velbon has released a new ultra-light tripod, the V-Pod, which weighs less than 300 grams and is ideal for compact camera and camera-phone users.
With folded height of just 29cm and weighing only 260g, Velbon's V-Pod can carry up to two kilograms in weight. It extends to a maximum height of 1.01 metres and has a ball head with a tilt/pan handle and hinged central column attachment.
