The Giottos VGR9255-SC Vitruvian Aluminum Tripod is a lightweight 5-section tripod with added value. Designed according to the Golden Ratio shown in Da Vinci's famous picture of the Vitruvian Man, this tripod features "reverse technology" legs that when collapsed fold 180° and surround the tripod center column and head to a length of 15.6" (39.6cm). It has independent leg positions for positioning your equipment in unusual orientations, and is easily converted from a tripod to a monopod simply by unscrewing a tripod leg, removing the center column and joining them together.
The versatility of this aluminum alloy, lightweight and compact tripod which will support your equipment weighing up to 8.8 lb (3.9.kg) is a great solution for shooting on location and for travel.
