Giottos Vitruvian VGR8255 Carbon Fibre Tripod with Ball Head

Manufacturer Description

The Giottos Vitruvian VGR tripod is designed to offer photographers not only a truly lightweight and compact tripod, but a full function monopod and ball head.

Giottos have designed the tripod with "reverse technology" legs so that when collapsed they fold through 180 degrees and surround the tripod centre column and head - folding down into a unit that measures only 40cm long.

The VGR Carbon Fibre model has a maximum operating height of 157cm and weight capacity of up to 4kg. The VGR8255 uses 6 layer carbon fibre and weighs just 1.28kg. The main tripod castings are made from a forged aluminium alloy for strength and the quick action twist leg locks require only 1/8 turn to lock and unlock. A compact ball and socket head with quick release system is included.

But it's not just a tripod, simply unscrew the tripod leg, remove the centre column and head then join them together to produce a monopod with a maximum height of 162cm.
