The Velbon UT 43D 6-Section Aluminum Travel Tripod with Ball Head features a remarkable ratio of maximum height (61.6") to folded length (11.6"), making it an excellent choice for backpackers and other travelers who need a lightweight & compact yet highly functional camera support.
That ratio is a result of several factors: the two-section center column, the six sections of the aluminum legs, the fact that each leg section disappears completely inside of the one above, and the 180° folding of the legs, by which the feet line up perfectly with the top of the included QHD-53D ball head. Together the head and the UT 43D tripod weigh just 2.6 lb.
