Giottos VGR8255-S2C Carbon Fiber Tripod/Monopod W/QR Ballhead
- No Longer Available
Giottos' VGR8255-S2C Carbon Fiber Tripod/Monopod W/QR Ballhead boldly goes forth exploring a new frontier that any photographer will cheer--designing a solid professional tripod that folds down to a manageable size. This carbon fiber support will extend to 5.16' (1.57 m), but its minimum working height is barely more than a foot--15.4" (39.11 cm), and it folds down to 15.6" (39.62 cm). Although it weighs just 2.8 lbs (1.27 kg), it can support up to 8.8 lbs (3.99 kg). The included quick-release ballhead has bubble levels and is Arca-compatible.
Plus, one leg of the tripod combined with the center column converts to a monopod that extends to 5.35' (1.63 m) and collapses to 28.8" (73.15 cm). The 5 leg sections use a quick twist-lock design, and the tripod accepts optional accessory spiked feet for use on rough terrain.
- Standard carbon fiber tripod with an extremely short folded length
- One leg w/the center column converts to a full-sized monopod
- 3-position legs w/twist leg locks
- Legs fold up at 180° to protect the center column & ballhead
- Bubble levels on QR ballhead
- Removable retractable hook

Comments about Giottos VGR8255-S2C Carbon Fiber Tripod/Monopod W/QR Ballhead:
I purchased this tripod for backpacking trips to lighten my load. The tripod looks like it will meet my needs but I have not determined yet about the ball head. It looks a little light (under sized) for my camera but I will have to get more field time before I can be sure. So It works fine inside my living room, but the real test will be out in the field.
Also, the quick release plate that came with the ball head is too small for my camera/lens. I had to order two larger ones to make them hold properly,which they seem to be doing.
