GEO Series
The carbon fiber leg tubes of the Geo Series tripods
have been strengthened by the addition of a small quantity of basalt,
offering greater resistance and rigidity for bending and crushing
forces. The reason for the use of carbon is its quick absorption of
vibration.
Carbon is not only light in weight, it is ideal for
stopping the vibration caused by the release of the shutter and
restraining the movement of the camera for the next shot. Tripod
components and furniture are constructed of magnesium alloy, a material
that is lightweight and easy to process, making Geo Series tripods both
solid and stylish. Velbon was the world’s first manufacturer to use
magnesium alloy in tripods.
With its high processing temperature and remarkable
fineness, magnesium alloy is emblematic of Velbon’s state-of-the-art
technology.
