It can be extended to 153cm and will support a maximum load of 4 kg, while the multi-angle legs enable you to get the mount as low as 9.5 cm from the ground.

Small but feature-packed, the Ultra REXi L is perfect for travel.

Velbon Ultra Maxi-M Tripod is innovative, modern, compact and ideal for your digital equipment. It features the patented Trunnion Shaft System (TSS). That means each Leg extends the entire inside length of the outer leg casing, making the tripod extremely compact when folded. The Ultra tripods additionally features the unique, Patented Velbon “Twist Lock” leg system – a simple quick twist and pull allows you to extend each leg in on movement. Another twist locks the leg.
The legs of most tripods are joined to the head via bolts through the top of each leg, however the Ultra MAXi incorporates non-piercing bolts: (i.e. each leg extends the entire inside length of the outer leg casing), making the tripod extremely compact when folded. This unique system is called the Trunnion Shaft System (TSS). Suitable for most compact digital cameras and camcorders.
