The Velbon Ultra REXi L Aluminum Tripod is a compact aluminum support that's ideal for digital SLRs and camcorders--it folds down to 14.17" (36 cm), extends up to 5.01' (1.53 m), and using the split center column, it has an incredible minimum working height of 3.74" (9.5 cm). The simple quick-twist system locks and unlocks the legs quickly and easily, and the Trunnion Shaft System (TSS) makes possible the extremely compact dimensions of this tripod. A head is not included.

Comments about Velbon Ultra REXi L Aluminum Tripod:
This is a very good TRAVEL tripod. It is light & folds to 14+ inches. I use it with the Nikon D200 with an 18-200 lens with no problems. The only issue is you have to be careful not to overtighten the legs.

Comments about Velbon Ultra REXi L Aluminum Tripod:
This tripod has been part of my equipment bag for about 10 days. From this limited point of view, here are my comments:It's used with DSLRs - D300, D7000. It supports these cameras very well, even with lenses, such as the 18-200 or the reasonably heavy MIcro 105.Positive points: Height; it's almost as tall as my 25 year old Manfrotto 055 at 1/3 of the weight.With this amazingly low weight it is ideal for travel and hiking.It is hard to believe that a tripod with that working height packs into a size of barely 1 1/2 ft.All round Velbon has produced a winner.Negative: I have to get used to the friction locks. It will probably take me another 10 days.B&H Service: First Class.[...]
