Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Velbon UP-43 Deluxe Professional Compact Photographic/Video Unipod
Customer Review: Light, but sturdy and a good height
Summary: 4 Stars
I have the black version of this monopod, the RUP-43. I bought it after carefully examining many other monopods from Slik, Manfroto, Etsumi and Velbon in a store.
I usually prefer collar-type leg locks over the clip type used in the UP-43, but nothing could beat this model in terms of height to weight ratio and value for money, so I made an exception. The ball head looks a little on the small side, but it copes perfectly well with my medium format TLR and SLR cameras as well as my 35mm SLR.
The UP-43 extends up to 1637mm long, collapses down to 530mm, weighs 437g, and can support cameras up to 2kg. My only gripe is that the ball head is not removable.
Description of Velbon UP-43 Deluxe Professional Compact Photographic/Video Unipod
The sturdy Velbon UP-43 deluxe professional unipod is built to handle the weight of large and telephoto lenses. The unit has a die-cast aluminum ball socket head (allowing vertical picture composition), a 4-section compact tubular leg with wrist strap, a foam-covered handgrip, quick side-lever leg locks, and a rubber-tipped foot. It opens to 63 inches and closes to a compact 20 inches. It is excellent for fast, professional photo and video work.Accessories
