Velbon always looks for new-fangled and innovative solutions to create tripods that are small and light, but taller than contending designs, with finest levels of durability. Velbon has always tried to achieve two goals for many years. Tripods initially used to be very bulky. Thus, one of their goals was to make tripods that are light in weight and are also tough. They started using plastics and carbon fiber to make tripods that were fragile and less expensive; however, stability could not be improved. Their second goal was to manufacture tripods which were compact but have required extension to be tall enough for all photographers. Usually the lower parts of tripods legs become constantly shorter because each part cannot reach the top section of the uppermost leg area when the leg is collapsed. Velbon opted for a trunnion design for hanging the hinge of the tripod legs, enabling the inside to be empty coz it is not in filtered by the bolt. The leg sections can therefore, sit inside the hinge, which makes sure that all of the sections are of the same length. The minute difference in each leg parts length becomes a fairly large difference when the legs have four different sections. About the Author: This article is written by Rajiv Khatri.
