Where can I find Velbon tripods?

Here is the place to talk about all those equipment(Telescope, Mounts, Eyepieces, etc...) you have. Not sure which scope/eyepiece is best for you? Trash it out here!

Where can I find Velbon tripods?

Post by chrisyeo »

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can buy Velbon tripods?

I'm looking for the model VGB-3. I tried Alex photo and Cathay in Peninsular but they don't have it. Didn't really know which other shop to try.

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

I was also looking for a Velbon CF tripod recently. The Singapore distributor used to be Alley Photo, but I believe they're closed down now. The nearest distributor is Foto Mutiara in Malaysia:

I emailed then and they said they would inform me when the new stock comes in. However, there was no reply when I asked if they ship to Singapore. Anyway, if you want to ask them, the e-mail is:

sakure@tm.net.my

What's so good about Velbon? Not sure. But for that model I was looking at, it seems that the performance is comparable to a Gitzo tripod, at a much cheaper price.
