Velbon Videomate 438

Velbon's solution helps users equally well in both photo and video shooting. But to a greater extent, the tripod is sharpened for videographers.

Smooth movements

Recording videos requires compliance with the special smoothness of all movements on the part of the operator. It is provided by a 2D head with a convenient removable handle for turning and a mechanism for lifting the central shaft, which allows you to change the height of the camera without unnecessary jerks. The maximum height of the tripod in the unfolded state relative to the fulcrum is 153.5 cm, and the minimum is 126.5 cm. When folded, the length of the Velbon Videomate 438 is barely 60 cm.

Sustainability

The best stability of the structure under load is achieved thanks to the spacers between the legs of the tripod and the central column. Their usefulness can be overshadowed by the inability to move the legs to different angles, which is often required when shooting macro or photographing from unusual angles. The tripod can carry a load of up to 2 kg, and the recommended load on the model is 1 kg.

Versatility

Straight out of the box, the tripod is stowed in a case. It protects the structure from adverse external influences and is equipped with a shoulder strap for easy carrying. As a result, Velbon Videomate 438 can be safely recommended both for beginnings in video production (it is more difficult to perform more serious tasks with it due to not so soft movements of the rotary mechanisms), and for leisurely photography.
