Are you sure that tripod can be set in different angels? I just had a look at the Velbon site at the Sherpa series. Judging from the small pictures, there is a locking device on 550R and 750R, but not on the 250R. I have a Sherpa Pro CF-630, they are adjustable. The lock is a thingy that I must lift up. It ain't easy, and it ain't obvious. When the pod is standing it can't be done. I have to do it from start, before setting it up. A silly mechanism if you ask me. But it is there. Judging from the pictures there is a different locking mechanism at 550 and 750. I'm sorry that I can't be of more help.

It's got all the features I've been looking for, at a price that suits both my budget and financial controller... :-) One of its features is the legs can be splayed at 3 different settings, allowing the tripod to be set quite low. Trouble is, I can't for the life of me figure out how to move the legs past the first locking point. Is there anyone else out there with one of these tripods, who can tell me what I'm doing wrong?
