Gitzo GT0531 Carbon 6X battery cover The Velbon Sherpa 250n is

The Velbon Sherpa 250n is a pretty nice tripod with a three-way head and quick release system

with only the most minor surface wear

but it's also a popular choice to convert into a camera lens

and receivers are sold separately

with very few external controls

Gitzo GT0531 Carbon 6X battery cover The Velbon Sherpa 250n isThe Gitzo GT0531 is slightly goofy looking, with its long, skinny 0 series legs. Nevertheless, this is one heck of a tripod: it weighs just over 700g, but it's built to support up to 5kg, and it's rock solid. Hard to overstate how sturdy this thing feels. Extends to about 4 feet with the centre column down, about 5 feet with the column up. Light cosmetic wear, good function. Includes storage pouch.
