All tripods in the VRGN range feature reverse technology legs which can fold through 180 degrees, allowing the tripod to fold into a compact and portable unit.

The VGRN9255 and VGRN8255 include a built in monopod,

The smaller tripods (8225 and 9225) fold down to just under 33cm while the medium size (8255 and 9255) fold down to 40cm.

Manufacturerd using either 7-layer carbon fibre or aliminium tubing, the lightest tripod weighs just under a kilogram.

The bigger tripods weigh between 1.38 and 1.55kg and have an operating height of 142cm, further extendable to 165cm with the centre column extended.

The new tripods are fitted with a compact ball and socket head equipped with a quick release plate, spirit levels and pan lock. All feature five section legs and splittable centre column for low-level use.

Tripod castings are made from a forged aliminium alloy for strength, while the twist leg locks require only a 1/8 turn to lock and unlock making the tripod quick to set up.

All VGRN tripods come with a carry bag and 5 year warranty.

The new tripods will retail between £220 and £450.
