Through the lens: Velbon’s compact, single-action folding tripod
In low-light conditions a tripod can make the difference between capturing the perfect shot and relegating your attempt to the “nice try, but no cigar” bin. That said, when you’re travelling light, the last thing you need is a bulky tripod to weigh you down. The solution: Velbon’s compact, single-action folding tripod, the lightweight (390 g) Cube.
It packs flat when collapsed, making it ideal for travellers without a steady hand. It takes just a few seconds to set up, so you’ll never miss that once-in-a-lifetime shot – or the boat, for that matter. It comes with a unique head unit: all you need do is squeeze the locking levers to adjust the head and angle of your camera, then release them to lock it in position. Price: about R500.
