Velbon EX-430/F Tripod Reviews

Excellent tripod

By Leonard
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-12-22

Great tripod for light and medium size and weight cameras. I've owned Velbon tripods before and they are still made very well. Sturdy, yet light weight and portable. B&H shipped it the next business day and it arrived in a few days.

can it hold cell phones?
Asked by: Miguel
No, the Velbon EX-430 does not include a phone mount, you’d need to add a separate smartphone clamp to use it with a cell phone.
