Vitruvian VGR Tripod Kits
The new Giotto's Vitruvian VGR tripods are designed to offer photographers not only a truly lightweight and compact tripod, but a full function monopod and ball head.
Giotto's 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.
Two VGR models are available, both have a maximum operating height of 157cm and weight capacity of upto 4kg. The VGR9255 is manufactured using aluminium tubing and weighs 1.5kg while 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+socket head with quick release system is included.
But it's not just a tripod, simply unscrew the tripod leg, remove the centre colum and head then join them together to produce a monopod with a maximum height of 162cm. VGR tripods are supplied with a carry bag.
