In the name of SHERPA, we put image of top of the mountain and top of the quality tripods to gofor higher mountains with Multi function but basic features. The history of SHERPA has been wellestablished in UK with the attached leaflet in 1990’s and now extended internationally. We putsuccessful story of SHERPA to be expanded to professional category named SHERPA PRO.SHERPA PRO features CARBON FIBER legs and MAGNESIUM ALLOY materials to make lightyet strength tripods with even better durability and advantage of absorbing vibration fromthe ground or camera body. In some markets, we use the name CARMAGNE which comes from CARbon+MAGNEsium.

SHERPA / SHERPA PRO

Sherpa, Velbon's top-selling tripod in Europe

MAGNESIUMVelbon was the first to introduce Magnesium alloys in thetripod industry. Light but rigid material enables to make the tripodextremely light weight when assembled with Carbon legs.

Mgmagnesium

Ccarbon

ALUMINUMVelbon always choice high ratio of virgin materials with aluminum as well as plastic to maintain quality for long term uses.Aluminum is traditional materials to make tripod tough and steady.We still put innovative ideas to make aluminum tripod light andcompact for traveling with.

Alaluminum

Established in 1955, Japan.

Velbon has obtained ISO 14001 international environmentcertification at Manufacturing base in China.

A simple safety tip when using a tripodVelbon Tripods support extended weight under ordinary-use conditions, even when camera/lens combinations exceedthe specified load bearing capacity. However, in the interests of the safety and security of your equipment:• Keep camera/lens weight combinations within the published load limits of each tripod.• For maximum stability we recommend you to keep center column extension as low as possible.• Always add the tripod stone bag or hook to increase the overall mass of our ultra-light Carbon tripods to ensure super-steady images.

The Ultra/MAX i has no tripod leg intrusion into the hinge housing of the tripod. This unique idea allows each leg section to be the same length. All prior designs have legs of progressively shorter section, due to intrusion from one section to the next.
